Al-Khor SC have completed the signing of 18-year-old Guinean striker Ibrahima Coulibaly from French youth side Racing 92 U19, securing the teenager on a contract running from 2026-02-03 to 2028-06-30. The move places the forward into the setup of the Qatari Second Division club as he leaves the French National U19 – Group A system.
Coulibaly joins Al-Khor SC after developing at Racing Club de France’s U19 team, listed in the data as Racing 92 U19, where he was registered as a striker within the club’s attacking department. His transfer is recorded as a standard move, with the fee listed as unknown and no market value attached at the time of the switch, underlining that the deal has been finalised without a publicly disclosed valuation.
The switch marks the first confirmed move abroad in Coulibaly’s young career, taking him from French youth football to senior-level competition in Qatar. At just 18, he is classified primarily as an attacking player, specifically a striker, and will now be part of Al-Khor SC’s bid to compete in the Qatari Second Division. The transfer is entered in the 2025–26 season cycle, reflecting Al-Khor’s intent to bring in youthful attacking options for their longer-term project.
Born on 01 Mar 2007, Coulibaly already has international identity through his Guinean nationality, and this transfer places him in a professional environment outside both his country of birth and his recent footballing base in France. The move therefore represents a significant step not just in competitive level but also culturally and geographically, as he leaves the French development structure for the Qatari league system.
The data lists no previous senior clubs besides Racing Club de France U19 prior to his arrival at Al-Khor SC, and there is no recorded market value or fee in the transaction records. There are also no registered senior appearances, goals, assists, or specific match performances included, and no earlier contracts or loan spells are shown. Likewise, there is no evidence in the information provided of experience in Guinea’s domestic leagues, making this confirmed move to Qatar his first documented venture into professional club football outside youth competition.
With his contract now in place from 2026-02-03 to 2028-06-30, Coulibaly’s immediate future is tied to Al-Khor SC. The confirmed transfer positions the Guinean striker to pursue a breakthrough at senior level in the Qatari Second Division, a platform that could define the early stages of his career and potentially shape any future moves, whether within Qatar, back to Europe, or elsewhere on the international stage.
