Today, Saturday, the international star of Algerian origin, Karim Benzema, arrived at Abane Ramdane Airport in the province of Bejaia.
Ben Zima is expected to attend the national team’s match next Thursday, at Nelson Mandela Stadium, for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. He will also visit the village of Ait Jalil in Bejaia, his father’s hometown.
It is noteworthy that the player Karim Ben Zima has repeatedly expressed his pride in his Algerian origins, his great love for the country of his ancestors, and his willingness to visit him in the near future after he was unable to do so during the past years due to his “full” agenda. He said in a statement to a French channel:
“Algeria is my country and my origin, and I am proud of it. Every time I want to visit Algeria, I do not find the time for that.”
Ben Zima said, from Abane Ramadan Airport in Bejaia: “Thank you for this wonderful reception. I am very happy… to visit Algeria and Bejaia for the first time, and I will visit my family, and I am happy to share this joy with the Algerians.”
The former Real Madrid star also highlighted that he had heard of the achievement of Olympique Akbou, the representative of the city of Bejaia, in his promotion to the senior fold, wishing the club good luck.
Before he responded regarding his attendance at the match between the national team and its guest, Guinea, in the World Cup qualifiers this Thursday: “I hope that the national team plays a strong match and achieves victory… It is the first match of the national team that I watch directly from the stadium.”
