Al Hassan Toure


Al Hassan Toure is a professional football player who plays as a forward for A-League Men club Sydney FC. Born in Guinea, he plays for the Australia national team.

Early life and family

Toure was born on 30 May 2000 in a refugee camp in Conakry, Guinea, the eldest of six children to Amara and Mawa Toure. Before his birth, his parents originally hailed from Frelah, a town in the Salala District of Liberia and belonged to the Mandingo ethnic group. They fled to Guinea during the Second Liberian Civil War, after the war had reached the town on the morning of 23 May 1990. Amara travelled for 18 days on foot before eventually resting in a refugee camp in Conakry where he met Mawa. During their 14-year stay at the camp, Al Hassan and his younger brother Mohamed were born. The Toures moved to Australia on 26 November 2004, settling in South Australia where Al Hassan's uncle, Ali, was staying. They initially resided on Prospect Rd at Blair Athol before moving to Croydon and then to a three-bedroom home in Clearview, a northern suburb of Adelaide.
Growing up in a tight-knit Islamic family in the suburb of Croydon, Al Hassan spent a significant amount of time playing football with his two younger brothers, Mohamed and Musa, both of whom became professional footballers. His father, Amara, was Al Hassan's biggest influence, training him from his experiences as a semi-professional in Guinea and Liberia. He started his career to professional football with local club Croydon Kings, making his senior debut at the age of 16.
Toure has taken part in the African Nations Cup of South Australia.
Toure's goalscoring idol growing up was Cristiano Ronaldo, for his work ethic and leadership on the pitch.
