Idir Ouali (born 21 May 1988 in Roubaix, France) is a French-Algerian footballer who is currently playing for Dynamo Dresden.
Club career
Ouali began his career in the junior ranks of amateur club SCO Roubaix 59 in his native Roubaix.[1] At age 15, his math teacher at the time recommended that he try out for Mouscron's academy, Futurosport, which was a short distance away across the Belgian border. Ouali took his advice and was admitted into the club shortly after.
RE Mouscron
Ouali progressed through the junior ranks of Mouscron, and on January 27, 2007, he made his professional debut for the club in a league game against KAA Gent.[2]
On March 8, 2008, Ouali started his first league game for the club against Brugge, scoring a goal in the 2–0 win.[3] The following week, he started and scored again, this time against Charleroi. After scoring two goals in his first 2 starts for Mouscron, he was signed on March 16, 2008 to a two-year contract extension until 2010.[4] On September 14, 2008, Ouali scored a hat-trick in a league game against KV Kortrijk.[5]
On December 22, 2008, it was reported that Ouali was joining Standard Liège for a fee of €400,000.[6] However, the transfer did not go through because of Mouscron's refusal to sell after the news of the transfer was leaked to the press before its completion.
On December 28, 2009, Mouscron were kicked out of the Belgian First Division and relegated to the Third Division after facing financial difficulties and going into administration.[7] All the first team players of the club became free agents and were free to sign with other clubs. On January 1, 2010, Ouali went on trial with Ligue 1 side FC Sochaux.[8] However, on January 7, 2010, it was reported that Ouali was close to signing with another Ligue 1 side, Le Mans.[9]
Le Mans FC
On January 8, 2010, Ouali signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with Le Mans FC.[10]
SG Dynamo Dresden
On July 24, 2012, Ouali signed a two-year contract with Dynamo Dresden.[11]
International career
In May 2013, Ouali was selected by Algeria national team coach Vahid Halilhodžić as a reserve player for a pair of 2014 World Cup qualifiers against Benin and Rwanda.[12]
