Adama Kéïta (born 3 May 1990) is a Malian professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper.[2]

Club career

[edit]

Kéïta signed for Kenyan club Gor Mahia in August 2021.[3] In July 2022, he left Gor Mahia and reported the club to FIFA over an alleged contract breach. In November 2022, FIFA’s Dispute Resolution Chamber ruled in his favor, awarding him KSh 4.4 million, including 5% interest.[4] After Gor Mahia initially paid part of the award in March 2023, FIFA lifted a transfer ban, but the club later failed to meet the agreed payment deadlines. This led FIFA to reimpose a transfer ban on Gor Mahia in February 2024, with the outstanding amount now including penalties and interest.[5][4]

International career

[edit]

Kéïta's only match for Mali came on 6 August 2017, when he played in a 1–1 friendly draw against Senegal.[6]
