Algerian Somali kid makes his debut in the FA Cup

Birmingham City, who are top of League One, played today in the FA Cup against Lincoln City. Zaid Betteka (2007) was on the bench and came on in the 87th minute.


He’s an attacking midfielder/winger that likes to come inside. Lots of competition in his position for Algeria but he is still very young.
 
Yeah, they won the league cup in 2011 where they beat Arsenal.
Tom Brady has a stake in the club as well I believe. They used to play in the premier league but not now, they play 3rd division but they will get promoted this season.
Lots of competition from Algerian diaspora In football it would be smart for him to represent Somalia internationally

It’s not senior football that’s the threat.

I’m not 100% sure on this, but I think if he plays for Algeria youth teams then he’s cap-tied. Because then he’ll be a dual-nat, and you’re only allowed a one-time switch.
