About the player
Omar Haktab Traoré was a key player in VfL Osnabrück's promotion to the 2. Bundesliga at the end of the 2022–23 season.
His first senior football was at SC Spelle-Venhaus, followed by two years at SV Rödinghausen. In 2020 he moved to KFC Uerdingen 05 on a free transfer. A year later he came back to Osnabrück, again on a free transfer. Across his two spells there he made 69 league appearances and scored five goals. That is a respectable return for a defender, and the promotion season was where he made the biggest impact.
1. FC Heidenheim signed him on a free three-year contract in 2023. Traoré went straight into the Bundesliga with them, playing 31 league matches in his first season there. He made 30 more in 2024–25, when Heidenheim also played in the UEFA Europa Conference League.
Across all competitions he made about 99 appearances for Heidenheim. He did not score for the club but set up six goals.
Traoré is of Togolese descent. He played for Lower Saxony FA youth sides at various age groups.
