Algeria defender Youcef Atal has signed with Adana Demirspor following his departure from Nice. Atal was suspended by his former French club in October after a social media post related to the Israel-Gaza conflict was widely criticized for inciting religious hatred. He later deleted the post and issued an apology, but legal proceedings led to an eight-month suspended sentence. Despite the controversy and legal outcome, Atal has now continued his career with a move to the Turkish club.
