Idrissa Coulibaly (born December 19, 1987 in Bamako, Mali) is a Malian football player who plays for Ben Guerdane in the Tunisian Ligue 1.

Club career

Coulibaly began his career at the age of 10 in the junior ranks of JS Centre Salif Keita.[1] In 2006, while many of his teammates were promoted to the first team, Coulibaly was not offered the chance. He decided to quit the club and began training with another local club. However, after 15 days, JS Centre Salif Keita convinced him to return and he was promoted shortly after that to the first team.

In winter of 2008, Coulibaly received offers from two local clubs, Djoliba AC and Real Bamako, as well as from Algerian club JS Kabylie. French club FC Nantes also wanted to take the player on trial.

JS Kabylie

On January 7, 2008, it was announced that Coulibaly would join JS Kabylie on a 3-year contract.[2] In his first season with the club, Coulibaly helped the club win the Algerian Championnat National.

On December 14, 2010, Coulibaly was chosen as the Best Foreign Player in the Algerian league in 2010.[3]

On December 22, 2010, it was announced that Coulibaly signed a one and a half year contract with Libyan club Al-Ahly Tripoli, joining them on a free transfer.[4] However, in an interview four days later, Coulibaly said he simply signed a pre-contract with the club and was still undecided with regards to his future destination. He is engaged with Tunisian team Club Africain after agreement between Al ahly Tripoly until June 2014.[5]

Espérance

On August 6, 2011, Coulibaly joined the Tunisian club Espérance.

Lekhwiya

He joined French Ligue 2 side FC Istres in September 2012, but was not signed due to an administrative problem.[6] Instead, he went on a 5-month loan to Qatari side Lekhwiya as a replacement for Madjid Bougherra.[7]

Raja Casablanca

In June 2013, Coulibaly returned to Africa for Raja Casablanca. He signed a two-year deal with the Moroccan club.[8] Coulibaly was loaned to Hassania Agadir for the 2014-2015 season.

Arouca

On 7 July 2015, he signed a one-year deal with Portuguese club Arouca.[9]

International career

On June 17, 2007, Coulibaly made his debut for the Malian national team in a 6-0 win against Sierra Leone in a 2008 African Cup of Nations qualifier.[10]

He was also capped at the Under-23 level for Mali.
