Facts of Nafissa Benzema

Nafissa Benzema is famous as sister of Karim Benzema, who is a professional footballer. Nafissa is French-born but holds a mixed ethnicity. 

She has Algerian descent. Her grandfather, who hailed from the village of Tirzit, northern town of Algeria Djellil, Algeria, emigrated with his family to Lyon in the 1950s. 

Her father was born in Tirzit, while her mother was born and raised in Lyon. Karim plays as a striker for the Spanish club Real Madrid and the France national team.

What keeps Karim focused and inspired?

One of the most prolific strikers, Karim, has three La Liga titles, two Copas del Rey, and four European champions league titles under his belt. 

Despite his brilliancy, he lacks support from his birth country due to his number of scandals and his reluctance to sing the French national anthem before every match with the national team. 

The comments he made in 2006 saying that he would be rather playing with the Algerian national team but chose France which dragged him to getting lots of criticisms. 

After all these, he is playing with dignity. According to Karim, his family and his Islamic faith keep him inspired and focused every day. 

Grew up in a large family with eight siblings

Nafissa grew up in a large family with her eight siblings, four brothers, and four sisters.  They grew up together in Bron, an eastern suburb of Lyon.

Her other brother, Farid Benzema, has chosen his career outside football. Her sisters, Lydia, Laeticia, Sofia, and Celia, remain out of the spotlight.

Grew up in an unhealthy environment

Nafissa‘s father Hafid Benzema, and mother Wahida Djebbara, managed to raise their big family in an unhealthy environment.
