Early career

Born in Abidjan, Fofana attend the MimoSifcom academy, before being promoted to the first team of ASEC Mimosas at the age of 16 in 2005. He made his CAF Champions League debut during that year, even scoring once against Egyptian outfit Zamalek.[1] He again played that competition the following year with the Mimosas, before signing with English side Charlton Athletic, as a result of the cooperation between these two clubs.[2]

Subsequently, Fofana was loaned to Norwegian club Fredrikstad. However, his contract with FFK was terminated in September 2008,[3] after failing to make an impact at the club, scoring only two goals in two seasons.

Fofana then spent some time with French clubs Cherbourg and Saint-Lô,[4] playing in the lower leagues, but without much success. Afterwards, Fofana moved back to his homeland and spent the next two seasons with Séwé Sport.

Shirak

In January 2012, Fofana came to Europe for the second time by joining Armenian club Shirak.[5] He was their leading scorer in the 2012–13 season with 14 goals, despite leaving the club in the middle of the season. In December 2012, Fofana was loaned to Iran Pro League club Zob Ahan.[6][7] He returned to Shirak the following summer for their qualification matches for the UEFA Champions League.[8] Fofana scored a hat-trick in the first leg of the first qualifying round against Sammarinese champions Tre Penne.[9] He also showed good performances in a second qualifying round tie against Partizan, securing a transfer to the Serbian club after agreement between two clubs.

Partizan

On 6 August 2013, it was announced that Fofana signed a four-year contract with Partizan.[10] He was officially presented the following day and was given the number 10 shirt.[11]

International career

Fofana was the top scorer of the Ivorian national under-17 team in their successful qualifying campaign for the 2005 African U-17 Championship, as well as their top scorer in the final tournament. He also played at the 2005 FIFA U-17 World Championship, scoring in their opening match against Italy U17.[12]

In preparation for the 2008 Summer Olympics,[13] Fofana was a member of the Ivorian U23 team at the 2008 Toulon Tournament, scoring the opener against Japan in the third-place match. He then missed in the penalty shoot-out, but Ivory Coast eventually managed to win the bronze medal.[14]
