Amoustapha moved from ASN Nigelec to USL Championship side Loudoun United on 20 February 2020.[1] He made his debut on 2 August 2020, starting against Hartford Athletic in a 1–4 loss.[2]
In October 2020, Amoustapha began training with Loudoun's parent club D.C. United after the conclusion of Loudoun's season.[3] In October 2021, Amoustapha was recalled to his parent club, MFK Vyskov.[4] He was subsequently dispatched to Cancún F.C. immediately following his return from Loudoun.[5]
Amoustapha has made three appearances each on the Niger U-17 and U-20 national football teams. He scored his first international goal with the U-20 side during the 2019 Africa U-20 Cup of Nations, on 9 February 2019, against Burundi's own U-20 side, in a match that ended in a 3–3 draw.[6]
On 31 October 2020, Amoustapha was called up by the senior Niger national football team as part of the preliminary squad for the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualification round.[7] He later made his first appearance with the national team on 13 November, coming in as a substitute in Niger's 1–0 victory over Ethiopia.[8]
