Abdul Fatawu Dauda (Arabic: عبد ال فاتو داودا; born 6 April 1985), known as Fatau Dauda, is a Ghanaian former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper.

Club career

[edit]

Dauda began his football career in 2004 with Ghana Division 1 League club Okwawu United, and in 2006 Dauda signed for Ghana Premier League club Ashanti Gold S.C. in his hometown Obuasi. Dauda was a member of the Ghana Premier League All Star Team 2007. On 5 July 2008, Dauda was nominated as Goalkeeper of the Year 2008 in Ghana.[2]

Dauda moved to South Africa to play for Orlando Pirates in 2013. A backup for Senzo Meyiwa, he played only three matches at the Premier Soccer League and left the club for Chippa United the following season. After only two matches, Dauda left the club after not being paid.[3][4]

On 1 October 2014, Dauda returned to Ashanti Gold.[5]

In December 2016, Dauda joined two-time African Champions Enyimba International F.C.[6]

International career

[edit]

Dauda was in the Ghana national team for the 2008 Africa Cup of Nations, and was the first choice keeper for the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations edition of the tournament.

On 12 May 2014, Ghana's coach, Akwasi Appiah, included Dauda in the preliminary list of 26 players pre-selected for the 2014 FIFA World Cup.[7][8][9][10] Weeks later, on June 1, he was ratified on the final list of 23 players who travelled to Brazil.[11][12]

Personal life

[edit]

In September 2024, Dauda was involved in a car crash along with Otto Addo and John Paintsil after their vehicle was damaged as it avoided a head-on collision with a pick-up truck that veered into their lane. The Ghana Football Association issued a statement shortly after the incident confirming that all three individuals were in stable condition.[13]
