Abdelhamid Sadmi (born 1 January 1961) is an Algerian former footballer who played as a defender for the Algeria national team, including at the 1986 FIFA World Cup, and the 1984 and the 1986 African Cup of Nations.[1] At the club level, he spent his entire senior career with JS Kabylie with whom he won the African Cup of Champions Clubs twice, in 1981 and 1990.

Club career

[edit]

Born in Azazga, Sadmi started playing football for his home town club of JS Azazga. There he was spotted by a JS Kabylie scout who brought him to the club. In the 1978–1979 season, at just 17 years of age, he was handed his first team debut by coach Mahieddine Khalef.[2]

International career

[edit]

On 11 March 1984 Sadmi made his debut for the Algeria National Team in the final group game of the 1984 African Cup of Nations against Nigeria, coming on as a substitute at half-time.[3] Three days later, he went on to make his first start in the following game against Cameroon in the semi-final, with Algeria losing 5–4 in the penalty shoot-out.[4]

In total, he made 27 appearances for Algeria.[5]
