Foued Kadir (born 5 December 1983) is an Algerian footballer who plays for Spanish club AD Alcorcón and the Algeria national team as an attacking midfielder.
An Algerian international, Kadir was a member of the Algeria national team at the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations and the 2010 FIFA World Cup. As of October 2013, he has won 23 international caps and scored 2 goals.
Born in Martigues, Kadir began his career in the youth ranks of his hometown club, FC Martigues. At the age of 18, after numerous problems during his time with the club, he contemplated quitting football to become a police officer. After leaving the club, he played briefly for two amateur sides, AS Gignac and Stade Beaucairois, before joining Troyes' reserve team. After a season and a half with Troyes, he joined Championnat National side Cannes where he would spend the next three seasons.
In June 2007, Kadir went on trial with Ligue 2 side Amiens. In July 2009, he started training with Ligue 1's Valenciennes and two weeks later signed a two-year contract with the club.
On 2 January 2013, Kadir moved to Olympique de Marseille for a transfer fee €500,000, signing a three and a half-year contract with the club. He was subsequently loaned to Rennes and Real Betis, signing an obligatory permanent contract with the latter after its promotion to La Liga.
