Osman Bukari is a Ghanaian professional soccer player who has represented, as a winger, AS Trenčín (2018-2020) in Slovakia, K.A.A. Gent (2020-2022) in Belgium, and Red Star Belgrade (2022-Present) in Serbia. Between 2021 and 2022, he also spent a loan spell with FC Nantes in France. With the club, he won the Coupe de France (the premier domestic knockout soccer competition in France) in the 2021–22 season. This was the club’s 4th such win after previous triumphant campaigns in the 1978–79, 1998–99, and 1999–00 seasons. This was also the first occasion, since 2000, that the club had reached the final of the competition. With the win, FC Nantes also qualified for the group stage of the 2022–23 season of the UEFA (Union of European Football Associations) Europa League (the second-tier club competition in European soccer, ranking below the UEFA Champions League). The club had secured qualification for a European-level tournament after a 21-year-long wait, and, in September 2022, made its debut appearance in the group stage of this competition. At the international level, Osman represented Ghana at the under-23 tier before making his senior national debut in March 2021.
