Souleymanou Hamidou (born November 22, 1973 in Mokolo ) is a former Cameroonian football goalkeeper . Most recently he played at Kayserispor .

Club career

Hamidou started his career at Cotonsport Garoua . In 2000 he moved to Turkey and signed with Çaykur Rizespor , who had been promoted to the first division at the time , with whom he immediately reached ninth place. The club was able to qualify for the UI Cup , but relegation followed in the following year. The goalkeeper stayed another season and immediately rose again to the top division with the club.

In 2003 he switched to Denizlispor . After the club finished fifth and sixth in the first two seasons, he fought relegation for the next two years and was never able to compete with Denizlispor at European level. After five years in Denizli, Hamidou moved to Kayserispor in 2008 . In his first season in Cappadocia , he became a regular goalkeeper straight away and was able to book his first appearances on the European stage. In the UEFA Cup , Hamidou made two appearances in the first round against French representative Paris Saint-Germain . The team lost 2-1 at home in the first leg and was eliminated from the competition after a goalless second leg. At the end of the season in the Süper Lig , Kayserispor was seventh.

National team

Hamidou has played 24 games for the Cameroon national team so far . He was nominated several times for international tournaments. In 2000 he was in the squad for the Africa Cup of Nations in Ghana and Nigeria , but was not used as a substitute goalkeeper. Cameroon won the tournament.

In 2006 he was used as a goalkeeper at the Africa Cup in Egypt . Hamidou played through in the group matches against Angola and Togo . He was also used in the quarter-final against Ivory Coast and converted the penalty to 11:10 in the lost penalty shoot-out, but he could not save a single penalty and after Samuel Eto'o missed, the Cameroonians were eliminated.

At both the Africa Cup of Nations in Ghana in 2008 and in Angola in 2010 he was Carlos Kameni's substitute goalkeeper and never played. He was also nominated for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa and used there in all group games of his team. After three defeats against Japan , Denmark and the Netherlands , Cameroon was eliminated from the bottom of the group.
