Amadou Koné (born January 28, 2005) is a Canadian professional soccer player who plays for Canadian Premier League club Forge FC.

Early life

Koné played youth soccer with West Ottawa SC.

University career

In 2023, Koné began attending Carleton University, where he played for the men's soccer team. In his first year, he scored one goal and added three assists in the regular season, before appearing in all three of their OUA playoff games. He was the team's nominee for the school's rookie of the year award.

Club career

At the 2024 CPL-U Sports Draft, Koné was selected in the second round (16th overall) by Forge FC. Ahead of their 2024 CONCACAF Champions Cup matches in February, he signed a short-term contract with the club. In April 2024, he signed a U Sports contract for the 2024 season with the club, allowing him to maintain his university eligibility. He made his debut on April 13 against Cavalry FC. In August 2024, he extended his U Sports contract with the club for the rest of the season, rather than to return to university.
