Abdelkader Laïfaoui (born 29 July 1981) is an Algerian international retired footballer. Mainly a central defender, he could also play as a right back.
An Algerian international since 2004, Laïfaoui was a member of the Algeria national team at the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations and the 2010 FIFA World Cup. He was also a member of the Algeria A' national team that finished fourth at the 2011 African Nations Championship in Sudan.
Club career
In December 2005, Laïfaoui was linked with a move to Tunisian side Club Africain.[1] Despite traveling to Tunis and agreeing to personal terms with the club, CR Belouizdad refused to release the player and an agreement on a transfer fee could not be reached.[2]
On 25 July 2011 Laïfaoui signed a two-year contract with USM Alger, joining them on a free transfer from ES Sétif.[3] On 14 April 2012, in a league game against MC Saïda at Saïda's Stade 13 Avril 1958, Laïfaoui was stabbed by opposing fans who stormed the pitch at the end of the game.[4] As a result of his injuries he had to receive stitches and spend the night in hospital.[5]
