Career

edit

Doumbia began his career at the JMG Academy in his homeland. In July 2022, he was loaned to FC Nordsjælland of the Danish Superliga for one year with the option to buy.[2] His only involvement with the first team was as an unused substitute on 12 October 2022 in a 5–0 win at BSF in the third round of the Danish Cup.[3]

On 6 September 2023, Doumbia signed a four-year contract at Royal Antwerp, reigning champions of the Belgian Pro League.[4] He made his first-team debut on 28 January 2024 as a half-time substitute for Owen Wijndal in a 1–0 loss at K.A.S. Eupen.[5] Three days later at Standard Liège, he scored the only goal; he had started the game as Arthur Vermeeren had been sold to Atlético Madrid.[6] On 8 February, he scored away to K.V. Oostende in the first leg of the Belgian Cup semi-finals, a 1–1 draw.[7]
