Uganda Cranes new midfielder Abdoulaye Sissako has started all seven matches for Sint-Truiden in the 2026/27 Belgian Pro League campaign.

The 28-year-old former France youth international joined Sint-Truiden in 2025 after spells at Kortrijk and Zulte Waregem in Belgium.

Sissako made his senior debut with Auxerre in 2016 following development years at RC France and the Auxerre academy.

He previously represented France at U-18 and U-19 levels, earning 20 caps and scoring one goal for the youth sides.

Sint-Truiden currently sit 11th in the Belgian Pro League table with eight points from seven matches played.

The defensive midfielder has recorded one assist and one yellow card in his opening seven league appearances this season.

Sissako's current market value stands at two million Euros according to transfer valuations.

His Belgian experience spans four years at Zulte Waregem and two seasons at Kortrijk before the Sint-Truiden move.

FUFA continues profiling new Cranes recruits as the team builds toward Afcon 2027 qualification matches.

The talking point in Kampala is whether Sissako's Belgian Pro League consistency translates to immediate impact in the Cranes midfield pivot.
