Boureima Hassane Bandé (born 30 October 1998) is a Burkinabé professional footballer who plays as a striker for Finnish Veikkausliiga club HJK and the Burkina Faso national team.

Club career

Mechelen

Bandé made his professional debut for Mechelen in a 2–1 Belgian First Division A loss to Royal Antwerp F.C. on 19 August 2017, and scored his team's only goal despite coming on as a late substitute.[1] Bandé became a first-team regular, scoring nine goals in his first fifteen games. Amid growing interest from many clubs, including Manchester United and Arsenal, on 4 December 2017, Bandé agreed to join Ajax at the end of the 2017–18 season for a reported fee of €9.5 million.[2] He finished the season with 27 appearances and 12 goals, though Mechelen still finished bottom of the Belgian First Division and were relegated.

Ajax

On 4 December 2017, Bandé signed for Ajax in a deal that saw him leave Mechelen after the 2017–18 season.[3][4] However, Bandé broke his calf bone and raptured his ankle ligament during the preparation of the 2018–19 season in a friendly game against Anderlecht. A year later, in September 2019, he finally recovered from these injuries and was registered for Jong Ajax.

Bandé made four appearances for Jong Ajax, before he on 27 January 2020 was sent out on loan to Swiss club FC Thun until 30 June 2021.[5] Thun was relegated at the end of the 2019–20 season and Bandé returned early to Ajax in October 2020.[6]

On 9 February 2021, Bandé was sent on loan to Croatian First Football League club Istra 1961 for a season and a half.[7][8]

Amiens

On 24 August 2022, Bandé signed a three-year contract with Amiens in France.[9]

HJK

On 11 August 2023, Bandé signed a two-year deal with Finnish champions HJK for an undisclosed fee.[10] Bandé scored his first goal in Veikkausliiga on 16 September 2023, in a 2–0 win against Inter Turku. Bandé made his first start, and scored HJK’s first goal, in the 2023–24 UEFA Europa Conference League group stage opening match against PAOK in a 2–3 loss. He made a total of seven appearances in HJK's 2023–24 European campaign, scoring twice.

International career

Bandé made his professional debut for the Burkina Faso national team in a 4–0 2018 World Cup qualification win over Cape Verde on 14 November 2017.[11]

He was named in the Burkina Faso squad in the delayed 2023 Africa Cup of Nations tournament.[12][13]
