Early life

Elyaz started his career at CD Canillas, before joining La Fábrica in 2013.[6][7]

He went through all the levels of the youth academy, already showing his skills with several goals in the Juvenil classicos.[8][9] He started playing with the under-19 during the 2021–22 season.[10]

In January 2024, Zidane left Real Madrid to join Real Betis, signing a contract until June 2026.[11]

In April 2022, he was selected with France for the 2022 UEFA European Under-17 Championship.[14]
