Joint top scorer in Ligue 1 with six goals, Boubacar Coly has established himself as one of Casa Sports' key players this season. Scoring the decisive goal against Jaraaf, the Ziguinchor-born striker has shown consistent improvement and harbors high collective ambitions, with a trophy in his sights for the southern club.

Boubacar Coly, who scored Casa Sports' equalizer against Jaraaf last Sunday, continues to solidify his status as a key player in the Senegalese Ligue 1. With six goals to his name, the Casa Sports striker is now joint top scorer in the league, tied with Abdourahman Mbodji of Génération Foot. This performance reflects the rise of an ambitious player, determined to make his mark on the history of the Ziguinchor club.

After an encouraging season last year, with four goals and four assists despite Casa Sports' collective struggles, Boubacar Coly has taken his game to another level this year. At the halfway point, the 21-year-old striker boasts solid statistics: six goals and two assists in the league. These figures demonstrate his renewed effectiveness and his steady progress within a team currently third in Ligue 1.

Having come through the ranks at Guédiawaye FC's youth academy, the powerful striker (1.88 m) plays for a club with a rich attacking tradition. Alpha Oumar Sow, Aliou Coly, Aliou Badji, and Abdoulie Kassama have all left their mark on the history of Casa Sports. These renowned strikers have placed Boubacar Coly firmly in the spotlight. Fast, strong in duels, and possessing a keen eye for goal, he seems to have the qualities necessary to follow in the footsteps of his illustrious predecessors.

Within the technical staff, the satisfaction is palpable. Former Senegalese international and member of the Casa Sports coaching staff, Stéphane Badji firmly believes in the young striker's potential.

“Boubacar will continue to improve a lot because he is very attentive. He has been at the club for three years. This season, we have emphasized consistency and regularity in performance. Scoring three or four goals a season was not enough. We expect more from him. Sometimes he is too aggressive in duels when we also ask him to be patient. With the work put in place under the guidance of coach Balla Djiba, he will improve in several areas,” explained the former Anderlecht player.

A view fully shared by the man himself. For Boubacar Coly, his current performances are above all the result of well-structured teamwork.

“This season, the technical staff is doing a remarkable job. Stéphane Badji’s presence has also played an important role in my performances. With his experience at the highest level, he gives me a lot of advice,” he says.

Realistic yet ambitious, the young striker makes no secret of his goals. While Casa Sports is firmly established at the top of the table (3rd, 23 points), Boubacar Coly wants to aim higher.

"I want to continue scoring to help Casa Sports achieve its main objective: to win a trophy this season," he says.

Full of confidence and driven by a positive collective dynamic, Boubacar Coly embodies today one of the great offensive hopes of Ligue 1. And in Ziguinchor, the dream of a trophy seems more within reach than ever.
