Abdelhafid Tasfaout (born February 11, 1969 in Oran, Algeria) is a retired Algerian footballer. A midfielder, he was the captain of the Algerian national football 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 team-mates 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 football team's all-time best scorer with 36 goals.[2][3]
