Abdoulaye Traoré (born David Traoré Abdoulaye Kinski 28 June 2003), known as Ablo Traoré, is an Ivorian professional footballer who plays as a winger for Al Shahaniya.
Club career Early years and Botev Plovdiv Traoré came through FDC Vista, a football academy in Gelendzhik, southern Russia, owned by the businessman Anton Zingarevich, who also owned the Bulgarian club Botev Plovdiv. In autumn 2022, as Botev drew players from the academy, Traoré joined the Plovdiv club as a free agent; the club's executive director, German Chistyakov, said it had been tracking him and described him as a forward with significant potential. The move came at a time when the academy's Russian base had become problematic following Russia's suspension from international football, and the club's owner was reported to be considering relocating Vista to Dubai.
Traoré scored both goals in a 2–0 win for Botev Plovdiv II over Dobrudzha on his debut in the Second League, and his form for the reserves earned him a promotion to the first team.Котдивоарец получава шанс в първия отбор на Ботев Пловдив
