Kassim Doumbia (18 June 1990) is a Malian footballer who plays for FH after signing a two-year contract in April 2014.[1] He has previously played for ASKO, AA Gent and FC Brussels. Doumbia is a central defender who can also play as a fullback and a defensive midfielder.
Career Kassim Doumbia started playing football on the streets of the Malian capital Bamako. His first club in his home country was ASKO. He became a youth international for his country of birth. After spending a few years with ASKO, clubs in Europe began picking up on the talent and promise that Doumbia showed. In the winter of the 2008-2009 season, he signed a contract with the Belgian club AA Gent, and he played for the first half of the season in AA Gent's B team.
In his second season, the club promoted him to the first team and he played a lot of matches to prepare him for the season and the competition. He did not, however, play any official matches in the Belgian club's shirt in the 2009/2010 season. This was due to the fierce competition that raged in the Belgian league at this time. Due to this, he was put out on a year-long loan to second division side FC Brussels, where he made his name as a confident and tall defender. He was in their starting XI at the beginning of the season.
In late June 2011, he signed a contract with Waasland-Beveren for the next two seasons, and at the beginning of his time with the club, they were promoted to the Belgian Pro League. On December 22, 2012, he scored his first goal for his club, and it ended up being an important goal to secure a 2-2 away tie against Cercle Brugge.
In April 2014 he signed a two-year contract with the Icelandic club FH Hafnarfjörður
