New Zealand, 2015: four goals and three assists across seven matches, and the adidas Golden Ball for the tournament's best player went to a nineteen-year-old from Bamako ahead of the Serbians and Brazilians who contested the final. That award and Mali's third place head a record that also holds forty-one senior caps, four Africa Cup of Nations campaigns between 2017 and 2023, and league football at Lille, Monaco, Rio Ave, Metz, Hatayspor and Hull City. Career record: club career at AS Bakaridjan, Lille OSC, Royal Excel Mouscron.
