Sikou Niakaté (born 10 July 1999) is a professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Primeira Liga club S.C. Braga. Born in France, he plays for the Mali national team.

Personal life

Sikou Niakaté was born in Montreuil, France. He holds French and Malian nationalities.[1]

Club career

Niakaté made his professional debut for Valenciennes FC in a 1–0 Ligue 2 loss to Nîmes Olympique on 31 July 2017, making his appearance at the age of 18.[2][3]

On 31 August 2018, the last day of the 2018 summer transfer window, Niakaté joined Ligue 1 side Guingamp on a five-year contract. He was immediately loaned back to Valenciennes for the remainder of the season.[4]

On 12 August 2021, he joined Metz on a season-long loan with an option to buy.[5]

On 28 June 2022, Niakaté moved on loan to Braga in Portugal. Braga held an option to buy his rights at the end of the loan for €1.8 million, and if he played in half of the official games in the season, the option would become an obligation to buy.[6] On 7 June 2023, Braga announced the triggering of the clause, with Niakaté signing a five-year contract.

On 20 September 2023, Niakate’s 88th minute own goal prompted SC Braga 2–1 home defeat against SSC Napoli in SC Braga’s first UEFA Champions League game in a decade.[7][8]

International career

Niakaté was called up to the France U17 national team in December 2015, becoming the first player in Évreux FC 27 history to do so.[9]

Niakaté was called up to the Mali national team for the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification match against Gabon.[10][11] He officially decided to represent the home country of his parents, Mali, in 2023. He made his debut for the African nation in a 4–0 victory of Mali against South Sudan during the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualification, resulting in their qualification for the 2024 tournament.
