Media reports have revealed that Borussia Dortmund defender Elias Ben Karaa has officially begun the process of changing his sports nationality from German to Algerian, in preparation to wear the colors of the Algerian national team in the upcoming period.

According to FennecFootball, the young player has shown great enthusiasm for the idea of representing the "Greens", confirming his strong desire to follow in the footsteps of several dual-nationality players who chose to defend the national colors.

Ben Karaa is considered one of the rising names in Dortmund, as he is currently with the first team this season and participated in several preparatory matches last summer, which has made him a focal point for the coaching staff of the Algerian national team.

It is worth noting that Elias Ben Karaa was born in Germany to an Algerian father and a German mother, giving him the legal right to represent both Algeria and Germany at the international level.
