Farouk Chafaï (born June 23, 1990 in Algiers) is an Algerian professional footballer who is currently playing for USM Alger in the Algerian Ligue Professionnelle 1.
In the summer of 2010, Chafaï left the junior ranks of MC Alger to join city rivals USM Alger, signing a four year contract with the club.
On December 25, 2010, Chafaï made his professional debut for USM Alger in a league game against JS Kabylie. He started and played the whole game, as USMA lost 1-0.
On November 16, 2011, Chafaï was selected as part of Algeria's squad for the 2011 CAF U-23 Championship in Morocco. On August 8, 2012, Chafaï was called up by Algeria coach Vahid Halilhodžić for a 10-day training camp for local players. A few weeks later, he was called up to the Algeria national team for the first time for the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Libya.
