Hamari Traoré (born 27 January 1992) is a Malian professional footballer who plays as a right-back for Ligue 1 club Paris FC,[3] and captains the Mali national team.[1]

Club career

[edit]

Traoré joined Lierse in 2013 from Paris FC. He made his Belgian Pro League debut on 30 October 2013 against Sporting Lokeren. He played the full game, which ended in a 1–0 away defeat.[4]

Reims

[edit]

In July 2015, Traoré, who was being courted by several clubs, chose to join Reims by signing a three-year contract.[5] On 9 August 2015, he made his Ligue 1 debut as a starter against Bordeaux. In his second match, he scored the winning goal in a 1–0 victory at home against Marseille. Following Aïssa Mandi’s move into central defense, Traoré established himself on the right side of Reims’ back line.

Rennes

[edit]

On 10 June 2017, Rennes announced that it had reached an agreement with Reims regarding his transfer.[6] On 14 June 2017, he completed the move and signed a four-year contract.[7]

During the 2018–19 season, he took part in his club’s victory in the Coupe de France, defeating Paris Saint-Germain in the final 2–2, then 6–5 on penalties. It was a remarkable achievement, as it marked Rennes’s first title in 48 years.[8]

On 19 January 2020, Traoré scored his first goal for the Rouge et Noir in a Coupe de France match at the Stade Parsemain in Fos-sur-Mer against Athlético Marseille. On 7 September 2020, he extended his contract with Rennes until June 2023.[9] During the 2020–21 season, he played in the UEFA Champions League for the first time, although Rennes were eliminated in the group stage.[10]

Having become the team’s captain, Traoré reached another milestone the following season by delivering 10 assists. He also surpassed the mark of 200 appearances for the Rouge et Noir.[11]

Real Sociedad

[edit]

On 9 June 2023, after six seasons with Rennais, Traoré signed with Real Sociedad on a free transfer, agreeing to a two-year contract with an option for an additional season.[12][13][14]

On 2 September 2024, Real Sociedad announced that Traoré had suffered a torn cruciate ligament and would undergo surgery in the following days.[15][16][17]

Return to Paris FC

[edit]

On 1 September 2025, Traoré left Real Sociedad and signed a two-year contract with Paris FC.[18][19]

International career

[edit]

Traore was called up to the Mali national team and made his debut in a 4–1 friendly win against Burkina Faso.[20]

In January 2017, Traoré was selected by coach Alain Giresse to take part in the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations held in Gabon. Two years later, he was again called up to participate in the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt. In December 2021, he was selected by coach Mohamed Magassouba for the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon.[21][22]

On 2 January 2024, he was included in the list of twenty-seven Malian players selected by Éric Chelle for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast.[23] On 27 June 2024, he was suspended by the Malian Football Federation for "incitement and dissent against Malian football."[24]
