Boubacar Haïnikoye Soumana (born 7 October 1998) is a Nigerien footballer who plays for CR Belouizdad and the Niger national team.

Club career

He spent time in Norway on trials with Kristiansund BK and Hamkam in 2018.[1] In May 2018 Haïnikoye joined Ghanaian Champions Aduana Stars F.C. on a 2-year deal from US Gendamerie National.[2] The following January the player moved to Algerian side CR Belouizdad, again on a two-year deal, in hopes of getting more playing time.[3] The following year the player joined NC Magra of the Algerian Ligue Professionnelle 1. Haïnikoye was reportedly the target of racial abuse from the opposing team's officials during a league match against JS Saoura on 29 May 2021.[4]

International career

Haïnikoye made his senior international debut on 13 August 2017 in a 2018 African Nations Championship qualification match against the Ivory Coast. He went on to score his first goal for the team in that game, a late winner in the 2–1 victory.[5]
