Ali Sami Yachir (born January 2, 1985) is an Algerian football player who plays for ASO Chlef in the Algerian Ligue Professionnelle 2.[1]
Yachir was born in Tizi Ouzou, Algeria. His father Djafar was born in Ouadhia and his mother Zahia in Hussein-Dey, French Algeria.
The family settled in France, in the Seine-Maritime department, around 1990. Yachir acquired French nationality on 14 May 1996, through the collective effect connected to the reinstatement of his parents in French nationality.[2]
In September 2013, a video of a miss by Yachir in a league match against CR Belouizdad went viral.[3] The striker failed to score into an empty net after the goalkeeper had tripped over the ball.
