Club career

[edit]

Born in Colmar to Algerian parents, Boudebouz grew up in the 'Europe' district of the city. At age 10, he joined the junior ranks of local side Colmar where he stayed until age 14 when he joined Sochaux's youth academy. Boudebouz made his debut for the club's reserve side at the age of 16. On 15 May 2008, Boudebouz signed his first professional contract with the club agreeing to a three-year deal tying him to the club until 2011.[3]

On 4 October 2008, Boudebouz made his first team debut for Sochaux, starting in a league match against Nice.[4] On 8 November 2008, he scored his first career goal, the winner in a 2–1 victory against Le Mans.[5]

On 2 September 2013 – the last day of the 2013–14 summer transfer window – Boudebouz signed a three-year contract with Corsica-based club SC Bastia, for a reported fee of €1 million.[6]

After two seasons in Corsica, Boudebouz joined Montpellier with a four-year contract, as part of a deal that saw Yassine Jebbour join the Corsican team.[7][8]

In January 2019, Boudebouz was loaned to Celta from Real Betis.[9]

On 27 July 2019, Boudebouz signed a three-year deal to join Ligue 1 side Saint-Étienne which was reportedly worth €4 million. On 6 March 2020, he scored a stoppage time winner for Saint-Etienne in the Coupe de France semi-final to send the club into their first final in nearly 40 years.[10][11]

International career

[edit]

Boudebouz received a surprise call-up to the France under-21 squad, who were looking to start fresh after their elimination from the 2009 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship, for a friendly against Denmark.[citation needed] However, Ryad decided to pass on the offer instead opting to play with the under-19 team who were in the process of qualifying for the 2009 UEFA European Under-19 Football Championship, in which they later progressed.[citation needed]

On 4 May 2010, Boudebouz was named to the Algeria national team 2010 World Cup preliminary squad.[citation needed] Boudebouz had been in the process of acquiring a passport to represent the nation of his parents since 2009.[citation needed] On 28 May 2010, Boudebouz made his debut for Algeria in a friendly against the Republic of Ireland. Starting the game on the bench, he was substituted in at the 65th minute.[15] He was included in the final 23-man squad for the World Cup.[16]
