Abdelkader Laïfaoui (born July 29, 1981 in Hussein Dey, Algiers) is an Algerian international footballer who plays for USM Blida in the Algerian Ligue Professionnelle 1. Mainly a central defender, he can also play as a right back.
An Algerian international since 2004, Laïfaoui was a member of the Algeria national team at the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations and the 2010 FIFA World Cup. He was also a member of the Algeria A' national team that finished fourth at the 2011 African Nations Championship in Sudan.
In December 2005, Laïfaoui was linked with a move to Tunisian side Club Africain. Despite traveling to Tunis and agreeing to personal terms with the club, CR Belouizdad refused to release the player and an agreement on a transfer fee could not be reached.
On July 25, 2011, Laïfaoui signed a two-year contract with USM Alger, joining them on a free transfer from ES Sétif. On April 14, 2012, in a league game against MC Saïda at Saïda's Stade 13 Avril 1958, Laïfaoui was stabbed by opposing fans who stormed the pitch at the end of the game. Due to his injuries, he had to receive stitches and spend the night in hospital.
