Abdelkader Ferhaoui, known as Kader Ferhaoui (Arabic: عبد القادر فرحاوي; born 19 March 1965) is an Algerian former professional footballer who played as a midfielder.

Managerial career

On 16 September 2010 Ferhaoui was appointed as interim head coach of Ligue 1 side AC Arles-Avignon.[1][2]

In June 2026, Ferhaoui addressed long-standing allegations regarding his absence from the 1990 African Cup of Nations, clarifying that he had never refused to represent Algeria. He explained that his sole withdrawal from a call-up was due to the Algerian Football Federation's failure to provide medical and career insurance for European-based professional players at the time, citing contemporary examples of players whose careers were derailed by injuries sustained on international duty without financial protection.[3]

Personal life

Ferhaoui is the father of the French footballer Ryan Ferhaoui.[4] He holds Algerian and French nationalities.[5]
