Career
In the 2001-2002 football season, Soulama played for Turkish team Denizlispor. He played successful matches at the club which made it to the UEFA Cup that season. Unfortunately, some Turkish players, including team captain Tolunay Kafkas, wanted coach Sakip Ozberk to give the starting spot to Turkish substitute Suleyman Kucuk. At a cup match against Fenerbahçe SK, Tolunay punched Soulama in the face and got a red card. However, despite being reduced to 10 men, Denizlispor managed to pull a surprise and defeat their opponent 2–1. At the end of the season Soulama left the club.[citation needed]
In August 2007, Soulama joined Ghanaian team Asante Kotoko.[3]
In December 2014, Soulama joined Ghanaian team Hearts of Oak SC.
International career
Soulama was a member of the Burkinabé 2004 African Nations Cup team, who finished bottom of their group in the first round of competition, thus failing to secure qualification for the quarter-finals. After about five years absence from the national side he was recalled in 2012 for a 16 May exhibition match against Benin national football team and next month's 2014 FIFA World Cup double-header qualifiers against Congo and Gabon.[4]
Honours
On 5 July 2008 Soulama was nominated as Goalkeeper of the Year 2008 in Ghana.[5]
Death
Soulama died of cancer on 27 October 2017.[6][7]
