Rafik Halliche (Arabic: رفيق حليش; born 2 September 1986) is an Algerian professional footballer who plays for Qatar SC as a central defender.
He started playing in 2005 with Hussein Dey, going on to spend the vast majority of his career in Portugal.
An Algerian international since 2008, Halliche represented the nation in two World Cups and three Africa Cup of Nations tournaments.
Born in Algiers, Halliche began playing football at the age of seven with CREPS Ben Aknoun. After seven years with the club he joined the junior ranks of NA Hussein Dey, making his senior debut on 30 January 2006 in a league match against Paradou AC, coming on as a substitute in the 74th minute.
In the January 2008 transfer window, Halliche received interest from a number of French sides, including AJ Auxerre and Valenciennes FC. However, on 30 January, he signed a four-year contract with Portugal's S.L. Benfica, which immediately loaned him to fellow Primeira Liga team C.D. Nacional until the end of the season.
On 30 March 2008 Halliche made his debut for Nacional, coming on at half-time in a 2–0 home league win against União de Leiria. He would go on to make two more appearances as a starter before going back to Benfica at the end of the loan, which was then extended for the entirety of 2008–09 and also the following campaign.
