Sol Bamba, bivši fudbaler mnogobrojnih timova sa Ostrva, poput Lestera, Lidsa, Midlzbroa i Kardifa preminuo je u 39. godini u Univerzitetskoj bolnici Manisa “Selal Bajar”.
Nekadašnji reprezentativac Obale Slonovače, koji je obavljao funkciju šefa stručnog štaba Adane, prevezen je u Hitnu pomoć nakon što se onesvijestio uoči treninga pred meč sa Manisom.
“Naš Bamba je nažalost izgubio životnu bitku. Najdublje saučešće porodici”, oglasila se Adana.
Nekadašnjem centralnom beku je u januaru 2021. godine dijagnostifikovan Hodžkinov limfom.
U dresu sa nacionalnim grbom odigrao je 46 utakmica i postigao jedan gol, ujedno je sa Obalom Slonovače stigao do finala Afričkog kupa nacija 2012. godine.
Kao štoper Kardifa izabran je u idealni tim Čempionšipa za sezonu 2017/18.
Karijeru je počeo u Pariz Sen Žermenu, pa se preselio u Škotsku igrajući za Danfermlin i Hibernian. Pored pomenutih klubova Velike Britanije, nastupao je u Turskoj za Trabzonspor, a u Italiji je branio boje Palerma.
Najdublji trag ostavio je u Kardifu za koji je odigrao preko 100 mečeva.
