Ali Boulebda (Arabic: علي بولبدة; born 21 August 1980) is an Algerian former professional footballer. He spent most of his career in France while making three appearances for the Algeria national team at international level.
On 16 January 2011 Boulebda signed an 18-month contract with Algerian club USM Alger.[1] In July 2011 he was released, having made nine appearances during his time with the club.[2]
Boulebda made his debut for the Algeria national team on 3 June 2000 as a 78th-minute substitute in a 4–0 friendly win against Guinea.[3] His second cap would come over six years later, on 3 September 2006, again against Guinea, in a 2008 African Cup of Nations qualifier which ended 0–0.[4] Boulebda was subbed into the game in the 90th minute. His last cap came in a friendly against Burkina Faso on 15 November 2006 in Luynes, France.[5] Boulebda was again a substitute coming on in the 70th minute while Algeria lost the game 2–1.
