The Ivorian club's defender, Moustapha Sylla, died on Sunday after collapsing in the middle of a match, his club said.
"Our defender Moustapha Sylla died this evening after feeling unwell on the pitch during the RCA vs Sol FC match," said a statement from the club, which sent its condolences to the player's family.
"During his evacuation to the hospital, Moustapha passed away. He arrived at the club last September and was only 21 years old," club president Logossina Cisse told AFP.
