Abdoul Khaled Akiola Adénon (born 28 July 1985) is a Beninese professional football defender who plays for French Championnat National side US Avranches.

Career

Adénon was born in Allahé, Benin. He started his career with Ivorian side ASEC Mimosas, moving to France with Le Mans FC in 2008.[1] He made his senior debut with Le Mans in a Ligue 1 match against AS Nancy on 19 October 2008.[2] He joined Ligue 2 side SC Bastia on loan for the 2009–10 season on 3 July 2009.[3] He returned to Le Mans at the end of the loan, and went on to complete 68 Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 appearances for the club.

On 10 June 2012, Adénon was sent off during a 2014 World Cup qualifier against Rwanda for assaulting the referee. That August, FIFA suspended him from all competition for a year.[4]

With Le Mans bankrupt at the end of the 2012–13 Ligue 2 season, Adénon was effectively a free agent when his ban expired, and in July 2014 he joined Vendée Luçon Football.[5] A year later he was signed by Amiens SC.[6] He was a regular in the team which saw back-to-back promotions in 2015–16 and 2016–17.

Despite signing a new two-year deal with Amiens SC in the summer of 2018, Adénon signed for Saudi Arabian club Al-Wehda in July 2019, agreeing a two-year contract.[7][8] He left by mutual consent in February 2020.[9]

In July 2020 Adénon returned to France with US Avranches, re-uniting with manager Frédéric Reculeau, who had given him a chance at Luçon.[10]

International career

He represented his homeland at 2008 Africa Cup of Nations.
