Hapoel Haifa to Trial Mali National Winger Shikana Diakite Ahead of New Season
Hapoel Haifa announced on August 20, 2026, that they will be evaluating 21-year-old Malian winger Shikana Diakite next week as part of their squad-building efforts for the upcoming season. Diakite primarily plays on the left wing but is versatile enough to operate on the right wing or as a forward. Over the past two years, he has played for FC Azam in Tanzania. Last season, he appeared in four matches in the CAF Confederation Cup, accumulating a total of 69 minutes on the field. Internationally, Diakite has earned seven caps for the Mali national team and contributed two assists. Following the trial, he may sign with Hapoel Haifa for the next season.
