*Club domestic league appearances and goals

Habib Mohamed Bellaïd (born 28 March 1986) is a former professional

centre-back.[2]
Born in France, he has represented France at youth level and Algeria at senior level.

He was part of the Algeria national squad at the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa.

Club career

Early life

Bellaïd began his career playing for his local side

RC Strasbourg
.

Strasbourg

Bellaïd joined Strasbourg in 2002 and quickly asserted himself into the youth academy. He was a part of the Strasbourg youth squad that made it to the finals of the

Troyes AC starting the match in the left back
position. Strasbourg won the match 3–1 and eventually went on to win the cup. That league cup appearance was his only appearance that season.

Bellaïd was subsequently promoted to the senior squad for the

Real Madrid,[5]
but the club still suffered relegation, which led the player to ponder his future.

Move to Germany

On 4 July 2008, it was announced that Bellaïd and Strasbourg had agreed to a move to German club

Hertha Berlin. Eintracht would lose the match 2–0.[7]
Bellaïd has since made 21 more appearances in the league.

Back to Strasbourg

On 31 August 2009, the French defender left

RC Strasbourg on loan until the end of the season.[8]

Loan to Boulogne

After a half-year with his former club

RC Strasbourg the club loaned him out to US Boulogne without consulting Eintracht Frankfurt, but at the request of the player Eintracht approved the transfer.[9]

International career

Bellaïd has been a France youth international since childhood receiving caps with all of France's youth teams beginning with the U-15s all the way to the U-21s.[10] He was also eligible to play for Tunisia and Algeria, subject to FIFA approval.[11]

On 4 May 2010, Bellaïd was called up to the Algeria preliminary

World Cup 2010 squad. He made his debut on 28 May 2010 as a starter in a friendly against the Republic of Ireland,[12]
but did not play in the tournament.

Personal life

Bellaïd was born in Bobigny, France, to a Tunisian father and an Algerian mother.[13] He holds French and Algerian nationalities.[14]
