Aly Keita (born 8 December 1986) is a Guinean professional footballer who plays for Östersunds FK and the Guinea national team as a goalkeeper.

Club career

Keita started his career at Skiljebo SK[citation needed], before moving to Syrianska IF in 2007.[2] Just before the 2012 season, Keita left Syrianska IF on a free transfer to Västerås SK.[2]

Pitch invader incident

On 15 August 2016, Keita was attacked by a pitch invader during a game against Jönköpings Södra IF. In the closing of what would have been a 1–1 draw ended with an invader running onto the field and grabbed Keita. He later reported that during the confrontation, he was struck in the temple. After the incident, the 17-year old invader was arrested and the match was abandoned.[3]

This was the second time a game in the Swedish top flight had been abandoned this year, with the first one being IFK Göteborg's match against Malmö in April.[4]

International career

Keita was born in Sweden to a Guinean father and a Norwegian mother. He opted to represent the Guinea national football team in April 2018,[5] and he received a call-up to the national team in October 2018.[6] Keita made his debut for Guinea in a 2-0 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualification win over Rwanda on 12 October 2018.[7]
