Abdelhafid Tasfaout (Template:Lang-ar; born 11 February 1969) is an Algerian former professional footballer who played as a midfielder. He was the captain of the Algerian national team for five years.

Career

Tasfaout suffered a life-threatening head injury during the 2002 African Cup of Nations in Mali after he clashed with Boubacar Diarra of Mali. An ambulance was driven onto the pitch to give assistance and at the time many of his teammates feared he had been killed. However, he made a complete recovery and it was confirmed that he suffered a broken nose and a swallowed tongue.[1]

Tasfaout is the Algeria national team's all-time second best scorer just behind Islam Slimani. He played 80 matches and scored 36 goals.[2]
