Ben Hamed Touré (born 21 August 2003) is an Ivorian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Ligue 2 club Ajaccio.[2]

Career

He started his career in his native, LYS Sassandra. He transferred to Ajaccio B team on 2021-22 season.

On 7 May 2023, Touré made his professional debut for Ajaccio in a 0–0 Ligue 1 draw at home against Toulouse, coming on as a 75th-minute substitute.[3] He made his first professional start in a 3–0 league loss away to Lens on 27 May 2023.[4] Following the match, Ajaccio's team bus departed Lens's Stade Bollaert-Delelis without Touré, leaving him stranded in front of the stadium's parking lot among Lens supporters. Touré was recorded saying that the team "forgot" him. Eventually, the bus went back to pick him up and he was able to return with his teammates.[5][6]
