Malick Touré (22 September 1995 – 11 September 2024) was a Malian professional footballer who played as a left winger.^[2]

Club career

Malick Touré joined the Algerian Ligue 1 in the transfers winter 2017–18 with US Biskra, during which he played 8 matches and scored a single goal against DRB Tadjenanet. Then, with the team falling to Ligue 2 on 11 June 2018 Touré joined MO Béjaïa. The Malian said on this subject: "It is an honor for me to sign in a club as big as MO Béjaïa. I am therefore delighted to give the maximum to help the club achieve its objectives."^[3] On 11 August, he made his debut in the Ligue 1 against Olympique de Médéa as a starter and scored his first goal in 4–2 away victory. Touré finished the season with five goals from 28 games, just like last^{[clarification needed]} season MO Béjaïa fell to the second division so that he had to search for another club because the law prohibits foreign players from playing in the second division.

On 16 July, Malick Touré joined ES Sétif for three seasons.^[2] He made his debut for the team against USM Alger as a substitute. Later in the next round he played his first match as a starter against MC Oran in 1–1 draw. Then he waited until round 13 to score his first goal, where he scored a double against AS Aïn M'lila on 26 December, followed by another double, this time in the Algerian Cup against AB Chelghoum Laïd in 5–1 victory.^[4]

International career

In 2015, Touré was part of the Mali under-20 national team at the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup in New Zealand^[5] where he participated in six matches. He started in the first match, a 2–0 victory against Mexico, but in the remaining matches he came on as a substitute, with Mali finishing in third place.^[6]
