Luca Zidane, son of French world Cup-winner Zinedine, said his grandfather had supported him in switching international allegiance to Algeria, after playing for France at junior level.
Zinedine Zidane is widely regarded as one of the greatest French footballers, inspiring his country to their first World Cup victory in 1998 and scoring two goals in the 3-0 win over Brazil in the final in Paris.
The midfielder also guided them to the Euro 2000 trophy, achieving an unprecedented double for Les Bleus.
