Moumouni Dagano


Beli Moumouni Dagano is a Burkinabé former professional footballer who played as a striker. At international level, he represented the Burkina Faso national team.

Club career

Dagano began his career at Ivorian side Stella Club d'Adjamé, based in Abidjan. In 1999, he moved back to his homeland, with Etoile Filante, before making his move to Europe a year later, with Belgian side Germinal Beerschot. After an impressive season with Germinal, Dagano moved to Genk, where he won the Ebony Shoe and scored 19 goals as the club won the league title for only the second time in its history, before spells in France, with Guingamp and FC Sochaux. While at Sochaux he played as they won the 2007 Coupe de France Final. Dagano scored Sochaux's first goal as they drew 2–2 with Marseille, before winning on penalties. In 2008, he joined Al-Khor. He later left Al Khor for Al Sailiya two years later, but the club was subsequently relegated despite Dagano's impressive goal scoring record.
He rejoined his former club Al-Khor and made his league debut on 18 September, scoring two free-kick goals and securing the victory for his team against newly promoted club Al Jaish.
On 31 January, following Aruna Dindane's exit to Al-Gharafa, Lekhwiya immediately signed Dagano as Dindane's replacement.
On 28 May 2012, Dagano joined newly promoted Qatari club Al-Sailiya for the 2012–13 Qatari season.

International career

Dagano made his international debut in 1998. He was a member of the Burkinabé 2004 African Nations Cup team, who finished bottom of their group in the first round of competition, thus failing to secure qualification for the quarter-finals.
He was the joint top goalscorer of the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign with 12 goals along with Fijian striker Osea Vakatalesau.
