Ribery - A New French Legend

He also played in the World Cup final where the team was defeated by Italy, but he almost scored with a low, close shot early in extra-time. Ribéry is a Muslim, having converted to Islam around the time he married his Muslim fiance Wahiba Belhami who is Algerian. Ribéry has adopted the Arabic name Bilal. They have one daughter together, Hizya, who was born on July 18, 2005.
