Beli Moumouni Dagano (born 1 January 1981) is a retired professional footballer from Burkina Faso who operated as a forward. He holds the record as the highest goal scorer in the history of the Burkina Faso national football team.
Club career
Dagano's early career started with the Ivorian club Stella Club d'Adjamé before he returned to his homeland to play for Etoile Filante in 1999. In 2000, he made the move to Europe by signing with Belgian side Germinal Beerschot. Following an impressive season there, he joined Genk, where he earned the prestigious Ebony Shoe award and netted 19 goals, helping Genk capture their second league championship.
Subsequently, Dagano competed in France with Guingamp and Sochaux. He played a key role in Sochaux's triumph in the 2007 Coupe de France Final, scoring during the 2–2 draw that led to their victory in the penalty shootout.
In 2008, Dagano transferred to Qatar's Al-Khor, and after two years, he moved to Al Sailiya. Despite his impressive goal tally, Al Sailiya faced relegation. Returning to Al-Khor in 2011, he marked his comeback by scoring twice from free kicks to secure a win over newly promoted Al Jaish.
On 31 January, after Aruna Dindane departed for Al-Gharafa, Lekhwiya acquired Dagano as his replacement. Later, on 28 May 2012, he re-signed with newly promoted Qatari club Al-Sailiya for the 2012–13 campaign.
International career
Dagano made his international debut in 1998 and was included in Burkina Faso's squad at the 2004 African Nations Cup. The team finished at the bottom of their group and did not progress to the quarter-finals.
He finished as joint top scorer during the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, scoring 12 goals alongside Fijian forward Osea Vakatalesau.
