Mamy Rahim Assane Ouédraogo (born 8 October 1980) is a Burkinabé former professional footballer who played as a defender.
Ouédraogo, whose preferred position on the field was as a defender, joined Twente at the age of 16, accompanying his brother-in-law to Enschede who was going to study. [2] He played for Twente until 2007. In the 2000–01 season, he had a brief stint at Zwolle on loan.
On 5 August 2009, he joined Manisaspor, signing a two-year contract with the Turkish club. [3] However, on 23 December 2009, his contract was mutually terminated. [4] In January 2010, he returned to Emmen, where he had played before joining Manisaspor, signing until the end of the season. [5]
Ouédraogo was a member of the Burkinabé 2004 African Cup of Nations team, which finished at the bottom of their group in the first round, failing to secure qualification for the quarter-finals.
In February 2011, Ouédraogo started a bus route between the two largest cities in the country: the capital Ouagadougou and his hometown Bobo-Dioulasso. These buses serve the transportation needs of both goods and people. [2] In December 2011, he revealed plans to establish a football school in Bama in 2012, alongside Mamadou Zongo and Ousmane Sanou. [6] In 2012, he established Rahimo FC, and two of his players, Lassina Traoré and Issa Kaboré, subsequently achieved success for Ajax and Manchester City, respectively. [7]
