CARDIFF CITY FOOTBALL CLUB:


It is with the deepest sadness that we have learnt this evening about the passing of Club legend, Sol Bamba.

As a player and coach, Sol's impact on our football club was immeasurable. He was a hero to all of us, a leader in every dressing room and a true gentleman.

Our thoughts are with his friends, family and everyone lucky enough to know and love Sol.






Confirmed: Sol Bamba has died, aged 39.





Just seeing all over twitter that Sol has passed away. Looks like legitimate posts. Absolutely gutted for him and his family. What a genuinely nice guy.

A Gentleman and a Real True Legend RIP
Sol Bamba :bluebird: :bluebird:


Cardiff City legend Sol Bamba has died at the age of 39.

The former Bluebirds defender, who took charge of Turkish 1.Lig side Adanaspor last month, was taken ill before his team’s match against Manisa BBSK on Friday and later died in hospital, the club has confirmed.

A statement from Adanaspor posted on Saturday night read: “Our Technical Director Souleymane Bamba, who fell ill before the Manisa Football Club match played yesterday, was taken to Manisa Celal Bayar University Hospital and unfortunately lost his battle for life there. Our condolences to his family and our community.”

Bamba spent five years with Cardiff as a player before returning as assistant to ex-boss Sabri Lamouchi in 2023. Having studied his coaching badges in Wales, his move to Turkey was his first move into management.
