Career
youth
Soumaré spent most of his childhood in Paris before joining the La Salle Academy soccer squad in New York City in 2002 as a teenager . After joining the team at the University of Virginia in 2005 - for which he did not have any noteworthy working hours only the following year - Soumaré played himself in the focus of the US professional teams.
Professional career
At MLS SuperDraft , Chicago Fire signed him in January 2007 for the team in Major League Soccer . He stayed with the Chicago franchise until the 2009 season , where he played 63 league games. As a result of an argument with coach Denis Hamlett in the middle of a league game, Soumaré and Chicago Fire broke up in August 2009.
A few days after this incident, Soumaré moved to US Boulogne in the French Ligue 1 . There he took over the role of captain and played two and a half years in the first and second division, where he completed 67 league games in which he could score two goals for Boulogne.
In January 2012, he was for the remainder of the 2011/12 season at the Karlsruher SC borrowed the above in the case of class preservation possessed beyond a purchase option. After he failed with the Karlsruher SC in the relegation against SSV Jahn Regensburg and was relegated, he switched back to Major League Soccer , where he played the current 2012 season at Philadelphia Union to the end.
In May 2013 Soumaré moved back to Chicago Fire; he had asked for the transfer because he had hardly any working hours. In the 2013 and 2014 seasons he was used in a further 48 league games. In the game against DC United on October 4, 2013, he scored his first goal in the MLS - his only one in 111 league games for the Chicago Fire.
For the 2015 season, Soumaré moved to league rivals Montreal Impact . There he played ten league games by July 16, 2015, and was used in six games in the 2014/15 CONCACAF Champions League . Montreal Impact then announced that Soumaré would be leaving the club with immediate effect and at his own request and joining FC Dallas . In return, the Canadian Kyle Bekker from Dallas came to Impact.
National team
Out of gratitude to the United States, where it was only possible for him to become a professional footballer, Soumaré originally planned to play for their national team. However, since he did not receive the US citizenship in time, he decided to run for his home country Mali. He played his first game for the Malian national soccer team in 2009.
Private
In addition to Malian and US citizens, Soumaré also has French citizenship.
