Issouf Ouattara (born 7 October 1988) is a Burkinabé professional footballer who plays as a forward.
Born in Ouagadougou, Ouattara began his career in Etoile Filante Ouagadougou. In July 2008 he signed with Portugal's U.D. Leiria in the second division,[1] and played his first game on 30 August in a 1–0 home loss against Portimonense where he came on as a second-half substitute. He contributed with 26 matches (one goal[2]) as the club promoted back to the Primeira Liga, but appeared significantly less in the following year.
In September 2011, after spending the 2010–11 season on loan to C.D. Trofense[3]– second level, less than one third of the matches played – Ouattara left Leiria and signed for Nîmes Olympique in the French division three.[4] In the following campaign he moved teams and countries again, joining Bulgaria's PSFC Chernomorets Burgas after a period of trial.
In his only full season in the country, Ouattara was voted his club's Best Foreign Player in a poll conducted in its official website, earning over 1,000 votes.[5] He was released in late 2013.
