Rabah Madjer

Rabah Madjer is an Algerian retired footballer, born in Hussein Dey, Algiers in 1958, and widely regarded as one of the best Algerian players of all time. ¹ A striker, he reached stardom with Porto in the 1980s, winning nine major titles including the 1987 European Cup. ¹ He won 87 caps for Algeria, played at the 1982 and 1986 World Cups and won the 1990 Africa Cup of Nations, and later coached the national team in several spells. ¹ The sources state no religion for him at all, so his data record leaves his faith as unknown. ¹²

Born in the Algiers district of Hussein Dey, Madjer began with NA Hussein Dey before moving to Racing Paris in 1983 and then to Porto in 1985. ¹ In six years at Porto he won nine major titles, among them three Portuguese championships and the 1987 European Cup, with a loan spell at Valencia in 1988, and he closed his playing career at Qatar SC in 1991–92. ¹

Neither the English nor the Arabic article makes any statement of Madjer's religion in its text or categories — the word for Muslim does not occur in the Arabic article — and Wikidata carries no religion value for him. ¹³² No source read names a school for him, so his record states his faith as unknown. ¹
