Bamo Abdoul Koudouss Meïté (born 3 December 2001) is an Ivorian professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for French club Marseille, on loan from Lorient.

Career
Born in Kani, Ivory Coast, Meïté arrived in France at the age of seven moving to Paris. He played in the regional youth championships for FC Bry and Le Perreux, then for Vincennes, Créteil and FC Montfermeil in U18s. In October 2019, after playing a few matches at senior level with Montfermeil, he joined Laval after a conclusive three-week trial. Initially recruited with a view to strengthening the U19 team, he impressed with his physical density and maturity and quickly established himself at senior level, where his coach moved him from a midfield position to a centre-back role.

Meïté played his first match in the first team on 1 September 2020 against Stade Briochin in the Championnat National. Meïté joined FC Lorient in the summer of 2021, joining the club's reserve team. He stood out during the 2021–22 season, contributing to the team's second place in Championnat National 2. He trained regularly with the first team and coach Christophe Pélissier summoned him several times to the professional group, where he made five appearances on the substitutes' bench during the 2021–2022 season, without coming into play. On 1 June 2022, Meïté signed his first professional contract with FC Lorient, for a period of three years.

It was finally Régis Le Bris who gave him his chance in the first team on 8 January 2023, during a French Cup match against AS La Châtaigneraie. Lorient won that day by six goals to zero. He played his first match in Ligue 1 in a 1–1 tie against Monaco on 11 January 2023.

Personal life
Bamo Meïté holds both Ivorian and French nationality. He is the cousin of Yakou Meïté, who is also a professional footballer.
