Abdelaziz Ben Tifour (Arabic: عبدالعزيز بن طيفور; (1927-07-25)25 July 1927 – (1970-11-19)19 November 1970) was a professional-Algerian footballer who played as a midfielder.

He was a pioneer of Algerian football playing in Tunisia and France in the 40s and 50s as well as establishing the first Algerian national team with two other FLN activists featuring ten players in France's provisional World Cup squad on the eve of the finals in Sweden.

[citation needed] One of those players was Ben Tifour, who had played for the France national team on four occasions including one appearance at the 1954 World Cup.

In the summer of 1948, he moved to Europe to play for French first division club OGC Nice, making his debut in a 1–1 draw with Red Star Paris and by the time Ben Tifour played at the 1954 FIFA World Cup in Switzerland in a 3–2 win over Mexico; he had already won two league titles and a French Cup with OGC Nice.

[citation needed] When Algeria was granted independence in 1962, the 33-year-old Ben Tifour unlike Mekloufi and Ahmed Oudjani who moved back to play in Europe, returned to his homeland to take up a player-coach role at USM Alger leading them to the first Algerian championship in 1963.
