Born in Saint-Die-des-Vosges, France, to Senegalese parents, Kalidou Koulibaly was rejected by Metz's academy as a boy before working his way up through Metz, Genk and a celebrated eight-year spell at Napoli that made him one of Europe's premier centre-backs. A brief Chelsea stint preceded his move to Al-Hilal in 2023. The Senegal captain switched from France's U20s in 2015 and lifted the 2021 AFCON, scoring the opening penalty in the final shootout.
