Soumaïla Ouattara (born 4 July 1995) is a Burkinabè professional footballer who plays as a defender for Danish 1st Division club Hobro IK and the Burkina Faso national team.[2] He has been described as a player who is comfortable with using both of his feet.[3]

Club career

Ouattara began his career at ASF Bobo Dioulasso in 2014 in Burkina Faso.[2] In 2015, he signed for Ivorian club SOA before returning to Burkina Faso with Rahimo a year later.[2] In 2017, he moved to Ajax Cape Town. Over the course of one season at the club, he played a total of two matches.[4] His debut match was a 2–1 loss to Maritzburg United on 5 January 2018, and his final match was a 1–0 loss to Cape Town City fifteen days later.[3] At the end of the 2017–18 campaign, Ajax suffered relegation after being sanctioned for fielding an ineligible player.[5] In the summer of 2018, Ouattara returned to his former club of Rahimo.[2]

On 5 February 2021, Ouattara signed for Moroccan club Raja Casablanca on a contract lasting until 2024.[6] The transfer fee was reportedly worth 16 million CFA francs.[7] His debut came in a 1–0 loss to Hassania Agadir on 7 April 2021.[8]

On 29 August 2021, Ouattara signed for fellow Moroccan club FUS Rabat.[9]
