Since the birth of professionalism in 1932, more than 500 Algerian footballers have played in the French championship. From Ali Benouna to Zinédine Zidane, who are these immigrant sports workers? And what are their stories?
The sporting careers and social trajectories of three generations of professional footballers are part of the ambiguities and turbulences of the twentieth century: decolonization and globalization, deindustrialization and emancipation, democratization of sport
Based on the work of Stanislas Frenkiel, this round table will bring together former professional footballers who will testify about their careers far from the masks of business and spectacle.
