Club career

Doumbia is a striker.[2] He started his career at the Inter FC youth academy and started playing at second division partnerclub AS Athlétic Adjamé in 2003. He joined second league team Toumodi FC on loan for the 2004/05 season and was on loan in 2005 at AS Denguélé where he became Côte d'Ivoire Premier Division top scorer with 15 goals.[3] In 2006 he moved to Japan where he played for Kashiwa Reysol and then Tokushima Vortis, before BSC Young Boys brought him to Europe.

BSC Young Boys

In the Swiss Super League, he scored 20 goals in his maiden season and 30 in the 2009-10 season, making him twice top goalscorer in the Swiss Championship.[4]

CSKA Moscow

On 5 January 2010, Russian club CSKA Moscow completed the transfer of Doumbia. Under the terms of the contract, he would stay at Young Boys until the end of the season before moving to Russia.[5]

He made his debut in 2-1 win over Spartak Moscow on 1 August 2010,[6] thereby becoming the 200th CSKA player to appear in the Russian league.[7] On 19 August 2010, he scored his first goal for CSKA Moscow in the first leg of a Europa League playoff tie against Anorthosis Famagusta and added another goal seven minutes later.[8] In the second leg, Doumbia leveled the score with 5 minutes to go and CSKA Moscow went on to win 2-1 (6-1 in aggregate).[9] On 14 September 2011, he scored twice in a 2-2 Champions League draw against Lille.

International career

Doumbia earned his first international cap for Côte d'Ivoire in a friendly match against Japan during the Kirin Cup on 24 May 2008.[4] He scored his first international goal in a friendly against Germany on 18 November 2009 in a 2–2 draw.[10] He was selected for Côte d'Ivoire in the 2010 World Cup, but only made one appearance, as a substitute, in a 3-0 win against North Korea.
