Official: Assane Souleymane Ouedraogo completes exciting move to FK Čukarički

Assane Souleymane Ouedraogo has completed a move to Serbian top-flight side FK Čukarički, with the club confirming the signing of the young central defender on a long-term contract running until June 2029.

The announcement marks another important milestone in the career of the Ivorian-Burkinabe defender, who continues his development after a spell in the United States with Crown Legacy FC.

Having already taken significant steps early in his career, Ouedraogo will now continue his progress in the Serbian SuperLiga.

FK Čukarički confirmed the transfer through an official post on the club’s Instagram account, welcoming the defender as one of its newest additions ahead of the upcoming season.

Three-year contract secures move to Serbia

Ouedraogo has signed a contract that will keep him at FK Čukarički until 30 June 2029, giving the defender an opportunity to establish himself in one of Serbia’s leading clubs.

The move follows his time with Crown Legacy FC, where he continued his development after arriving from West Africa.

By joining the Serbian first division, the defender takes another step in a career that has already seen him experience football in different environments.

The agreement also reflects FK Čukarički’s confidence in the player’s long-term potential as they strengthen their defensive options.

Journey from FC San Pedro to European football

The defender began his football development at FC San Pedro, where he learned his trade before making the move abroad.

On 1 March 2024, he joined Crown Legacy FC, a club competing in the third tier of American football.

His spell in the United States provided valuable experience and represented his first opportunity to develop outside African football.

Following that period, Ouedraogo has now secured another move, this time to Europe, where he will continue his career with FK Čukarički.

The transfer highlights another stage in the young defender’s progression as he seeks to continue improving against stronger competition.

New opportunity to continue his development

Joining FK Čukarički presents Ouedraogo with the chance to test himself in the Serbian top flight and continue building his career.

Playing in a European league offers the defender another platform to gain experience and further develop his game while adapting to a new footballing environment.

The move is expected to help him continue his progression as he looks to establish himself with his new club over the coming seasons.

With a contract extending until 2029, Ouedraogo now has the opportunity to focus on his development and contribute to FK Čukarički over the long term.

Defender begins a new chapter with FK Čukarički

The official confirmation of the transfer closes Ouedraogo’s chapter with Crown Legacy FC and opens a new one in Serbia.

After developing at FC San Pedro and spending time in the United States, the young central defender now begins the next phase of his career with FK Čukarički, hoping to continue his steady rise in European football.
