CS Sfaxien have secured the signing of highly rated Burkinabe midfielder Hassamadou Ouédraogo on a season-long loan, with an option and priority to buy until the summer of 2026.
The 20-year-old, regarded as one of the brightest prospects in his generation, arrives in Tunisia from AS Douanes.
His move reflects the club’s growing commitment to recruiting emerging West African talent, with the aim of developing players in a competitive environment while maintaining long-term sporting and financial benefits.
Born in Bobo-Dioulasso, Ouédraogo first rose to prominence with Real du Faso, where his consistent performances in the Burkinabe Premier League earned him a move to AS Douanes, one of the country’s most respected sides.
Known for his tireless work rate, strong ball-carrying ability, and knack for breaking through defensive lines, he has also become a key figure for Burkina Faso’s U20 national team.
CS Sfaxien’s management sees the acquisition as a strategic step in bolstering their midfield depth ahead of a demanding campaign.
The loan agreement includes a priority purchase clause, ensuring the Tunisian side have the first right to secure the player’s services permanently should his performances meet expectations.
Club officials believe Ouédraogo’s arrival can make an immediate impact.
His versatility in central areas offers coach Ruud Krol more tactical options, while his energy and drive are expected to complement the club’s existing midfield structure.
For Ouédraogo, the move represents a significant career step, providing the opportunity to test himself in one of North Africa’s most competitive leagues.
CS Sfaxien, historically among Tunisia’s most successful teams, offers a platform with both domestic and continental ambitions, allowing the young midfielder to gain valuable exposure on a bigger stage.
With the deal finalised, Ouédraogo is set to link up with his new teammates for pre-season preparations.
The club hopes his integration will be swift, giving him the chance to make his mark early in the campaign.
The signing reinforces CS Sfaxien’s ongoing recruitment strategy—identifying and nurturing young talent with high potential, particularly from football-rich regions in West Africa.
For Ouédraogo, it marks the start of a new chapter, with the possibility of a long-term future in Tunisian football if he delivers on his considerable promise.
