Konan

Karl Konan, a native of Cocody (Ivory Coast), began playing handball in 2009 with the Entente Sportive de Bingerville. He moved to France in 2014 to join the training academy of Pays d’Aix Université Club Handball. A year later, the 29-year-old left back — known especially for his defensive qualities — signed his first professional contract with the club that developed him.
