Ousmane Diallo Toure (born 12 March 2003) is a Norwegian footballer who plays as a right wing-back for IK Start.

Career

Since migrating to Norway from Spain in 2015,[2] Toure played for Vålerenga as a youth player and subsequently a B team player. In the winter of 2022 he moved on to Skeid.[3] He made his B team debut on 12 April 2022, followed by his first-team debut one week later, and also played in the 2022 cup.[4] He therefore received a senior contract in the summer.[3] In 2023 he was loaned out to SK Træff to gain experience.[5][6]

Toure became a regular player for Skeid, but as the team was relegated to the third tier in 2025, Toure was picked up by IK Start ahead of the 2026 season.[7] He made his Eliteserien debut in March 2026 against Aalesund.[4] As he scored his second goal of the season, a 0–1 goal in an eventual 6–3 loss, Fædrelandsvennen analyzed that Toure stood on the brink of a breakthrough in the 2026 Eliteserien.[8]

Personal life

Toure has stated that "I believe every footballer in Oslo with an African background has experienced racist callouts".[9]
