About the player
Bénie Adama Traoré's career in Switzerland is built on numbers that keep climbing. Since 2024 he has played for FC Basel 1893, and by early 2026 his tally with the club had grown to dozens of appearances and more than twenty goals. This season he has also featured in the Europa League, where he has added an assist to his record.
Traoré's finishing has followed him into international football. Born in Bouaké, he has been called up by Côte d'Ivoire, appearing for the senior national team and scoring against his tally there. He has also represented the Ivorian under-23 side, where he found the net in the Olympic qualifying process.
At 172cm and right-footed, he is built for the kind of quick, direct forward play that has defined his time in Basel, where he has become a regular fixture in the side rather than a squad option used sparingly.
