Enzo Zidane, the eldest son of football legend Zinedine Zidane, has officially retired from professional football at the age of 29. Enzo, who last played for Fuenlabrada in Spain’s third division, has chosen to step away from the sport to focus on personal matters, including his family and investments. Sports journalist Fabrizio Romano confirmed the news, stating, “Zinedine Zidane’s son Enzo has retired from football at the age of 29, reports @diarioas. He last played for Fuenlabrada in the 3rd tier of Spanish football and he wants to focus on private stuff, including his investments.”

Enzo had a decade-long career, making 203 appearances, scoring 13 goals, and providing 24 assists. He played for various clubs, including Real Madrid Castilla, Alavés, Lausanne, Almeria, and Rodez Aveyron, before ending his career at Fuenlabrada. His most memorable moment came during his debut for Real Madrid’s senior team, where he scored in a 6-1 Copa del Rey victory.

While Enzo retires, his brothers remain active in football: Luca Zidane is a goalkeeper for Eibar, Theo Zidane plays for CĂłrdoba, and Elyaz Zidane recently joined Real Betis academy and represents France at the U-17 level.
