Mohamed Youcef Belaïli (Arabic: محمد يوسف بلايلي‎; born 14 March 1992) is an Algerian professional footballer who plays as a left winger for Qatar SC and the Algeria national team.[3][4][5][6]

Early life[]

Belaïli was born on 14 March 1992 in Oran.[7] He started playing young with RCG Oran and after with MC Oran.

Club career[]

In 2009, Youcef was transferred from MC Oran U19 to the first team of CA Bordj Bou Arreridj for one season. In 2010, he returned to his club MC Oran for two seasons.

On 24 May 2012, Belaïli traveled to Tunisia to negotiate a move to Tunisian club Espérance de Tunis.[8] Two days later, he announced that he had agreed to personal terms with the club and would be signing a three-year contract in the upcoming days.[9] On 5 June, Belaïli officially joined Espérance, signing a three-year contract worth €2 million.[10] On 20 July, Belaïli made his debut for Espérance as a substitute against ASO Chlef in the group stage of the 2012 CAF Champions League. Coming on in the 77th minute, Belaïli won his team a penalty to level the score and then provided an assist for Yannick N'Djeng in injury time to help Espérance win the game.[11]

In September 2017, Belaïli signed with Angers SCO of Ligue 1.[12] He left the club on 26 January 2018, where he signed for his former club Espérance de Tunis.[13] In 2019, after winning the African Cup of Nations with Algeria, Belaili signed for Al-Ahli, a Saudi club in Jeddah.

International career[]

Belaili was called up to participate in the 2010 UNAF U-23 Tournament. On 13 December 2010, he scored an own goal in the 54th minute against the Cameroonian under 23 side. On 16 November 2011, he was selected as part of Algeria's squad for the 2011 CAF U-23 Championship in Morocco.[14]

Doping ban[]

In September 2015, it was announced that Belaïli was banned from sports for two years by the Confederation of African Football after testing positive for cocaine after a CAF Champions League match on 7 August 2015.[15] However, in March 2016, FIFA confirmed they were giving an extended four-year ban to apply worldwide through 19 September 2019.[16]
