The French Football Federation announced today, Wednesday, the official list of the French national team for the upcoming international break in September, which included a surprise call-up for young Monaco player Mignas Akliouch for the first time.

Akliouch is 20 years old and holds both Algerian and French nationalities, before making his international choice to join the 'Bleus', thus ending the debate about his football future between the two national teams.

Akliouch is considered one of the most promising talents in the French league, having shown impressive performances with Monaco during the last season, which earned him the trust of the French coach and a chance to represent the senior national team.

The player's decision has elicited mixed reactions, as French fans see it as a confirmation of the policy of attracting young talents, while supporters of the Algerian national team consider it a loss of a promising name that could have added to the midfield in the future.
