Biographical Record
Miloud Hadefi was born in Oran and became the undisputed maestro of Algerian defensive football during the 1970s. Operating as a libero/sweeper for MC Oran and the Algerian national team, his sublime game vision, effortless ball control, and majestic anticipation earned him the international nickname 'The Kaiser'.
Pelé famously praised Hadefi's elegance following an exhibition match in Algiers. Hadefi earned 52 caps for the national team, winning the Gold Medal at the 1975 Mediterranean Games in Algiers before his untimely death in 1994 at age forty-five.
