Announcing the deal, APR FC highlighted the striker’s contribution, revealing that he has scored 60 goals and provided seven assists since joining the club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The numbers speak. The commitment remains. The ambition continues!” the club announced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In September 2026, Ouattara confirmed that he was in negotiations with APR FC over a possible extension, despite interest from several other clubs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The striker has also earned several individual accolades during his time with the military side, including the Golden Boot at the 2026 CECAFA Kagame Cup and the top scorer award in the 2025\/26 BK Pro League.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At team level, he has helped APR FC win back-to-back Rwanda Premier League titles in the 2024\/25 and 2025\/26 seasons, the 2025\/26 Peace Cup and the 2025 FERWAFA Super Cup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ouattara also played a key role in APR FC’s 2026\/27 CAF Champions League campaign, scoring twice as the club defeated DR Congo’s Les Aigles du Congo 3-1 on aggregate in the preliminary round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, APR FC’s continental campaign ended in the second preliminary round after they were eliminated by Egyptian side Zamalek SC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
