Georgi Minoungou (born July 25, 2002) is an Ivorian professional footballer who plays as a winger for Major League Soccer club Seattle Sounders FC.
Minoungou has made appearances for the Ivory Coast national under-20 football team. [1]
Minoungou was signed by Czech side MFK Vyškov in 2021, and was loaned to American MLS Next Pro side Tacoma Defiance. He was signed to Defiance for the 2023 season for a transfer fee estimated between $250,000 and $500,000. [2] In 2023 he traveled with senior MLS side Seattle Sounders FC for their practice in Marbella, Spain, ahead of the 2023 FIFA Club World Cup, scoring a goal in a friendly against Swedish side Hammarby IF. [3]
In 2023, he suffered a serious eye infection, with the resulting surgery leaving him effectively blind in his left eye. [4] This setback has not affected his ability to play the sport.
He received multiple callups to the Sounders in 2024 both for their U.S. Open Cup run and league play. He tallied an assist against Louisville City FC in a win decided on penalty kicks. He made his MLS league debut with the Sounders against the LA Galaxy on May 5, 2024. [5] Minoungou was signed to a permanent, four-year contract with the first team on August 28, 2024. [6]
Minoungou has stood out among second team callups for his speed on the wing, his ability to control the ball in 1-v-1 attacks, and his willingness to attack the goal. [7]
