Mohammed Ilyas Cherchar (born 18 January 1992) is an Algerian football player who plays for RC Arbaâ in the Algerian Ligue Professionnelle 1.
A product of the ASO Chlef youth ranks, Cherchar joined the AC FAF Academy in 2007 in preparation for the 2009 African U-17 Championship that Algeria was hosting. In January 2010, Cherchar joined French club SAS Épinal[1] before signing for AS Nancy six months later.[2] After spending three seasons with Nancy's reserve team, Cherchar returned to Algeria and signed a two-year contract with his boyhood club ASO Chlef.[3]
Cherchar was a member of the Algeria national under-17 football team that finished as runners-up at the 2009 African U-17 Championship and subsequently played at the 2009 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Nigeria. Cherchar started all three of Algeria's games in the competition, captaining the squad in the opener against Italy.[4]
