Club career

[edit]

Ouattara began his career at ASF Bobo Dioulasso in 2014 in Burkina Faso.[citation needed] In 2015, he signed for Ivorian club SOA before returning to Burkina Faso with Rahimo a year later.[citation needed] In 2017, he moved to Ajax Cape Town. Over the course of one season at the club, he played a total of two matches.[3] 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.[2] At the end of the 2017–18 campaign, Ajax suffered relegation after being sanctioned for fielding an ineligible player.[4] In the summer of 2018, Ouattara returned to his former club of Rahimo.[citation needed]

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

On 29 August 2021, Ouattara signed for fellow Moroccan club FUS Rabat.[8]

Ouattara made his debut for Burkina Faso in a 1–0 friendly victory over Libya on 4 September 2019. His first competitive match was a 1–0 loss to Mali in the African Nations Championship on 16 January 2021.[9]
