Armelle Khellas Aït-Sahed (Arabic: أرميل خلاص آيت ساهد; born 25 June 2001) is a French-born Algerian professional footballer who plays as a defender for Division 3 Féminine club Grenoble Foot 38 and the Algeria national team.

Club career[edit]

Khellas began playing football at the age of six at FC Vaulx-en-Velin. She then joined the academy of Olympique Lyonnais, where she completed her development.[3] In June 2020, after spending ten years at the club, she signed with Albi-Marssac in Division 2 Féminine.[4][5]

After two seasons with Albi, she moved to Italy in August 2021, signing with Serie B club SS Lazio.[6][7] She spent one season with the club before returning to France, where she signed with Division 3 Féminine club Grenoble.[8]

International career[edit]

Khellas is a former Algerian youth international, having been selected for the Under-20 team by coach Ahmed Laribi in January 2020 to participate in a double confrontation against South Sudan as part of the first qualifying round for the 2020 African U-20 Women's World Cup qualification.[9][10] She was a starter in both matches, which resulted in a 0–5 victory in the first leg in Kampala, and a 4–0 victory in Algiers.[11][12]

In September 2021, Khellas received her first call-up to the senior team to participate in a training camp for the 2022 Women's Africa Cup of Nations qualification.[13] In October 2021, she was included in the final squad to participate in the double confrontation against Sudan as part of the 2022 AFCON qualifiers but wasn't capped.[14] In November 2021, she was again called up for two friendly matches against Tunisia.[15] On 25 November 2021, she earned her first cap as a starter in a 1–0 win against Tunisia.[16]
