Mali: Kalilou Traoré has passed away
Former midfielder Kalilou Traoré is no longer with us. He died at the age of 38 in a car accident.
FCSM expressed their deep sadness and extended their sincerest condolences to the family and loved ones of the former Malian international. He wore the club's colors from 2012 to 2014.
Capped 17 times for Mali and a participant at an Africa Cup of Nations, Kalilou Traoré joined Sochaux after making a name for himself at Odense, where he notably played in the Europa League. Hampered by a serious knee injury, he made just 11 Ligue 1 appearances in the Sochaux shirt before being forced to retire prematurely in 2014, at only 26 years old.
