Zidane was born in Marseille, France and raised in La Castellane, a government-sponsored housing project (cité HLM) in the northern suburbs of Marseille (the "Quartiers Nord").
Zizou is of Kabyle Algerian descent and he holds dual citizenship of both France and Algeria, and therefore could have played for Algeria.
