Football career
Club career
After having played in his home country Burkina Faso for Étoile Filante Ouagadougou and shortly in South Africa for Mamelodi Sundowns,[1] Barro signed a four-year contract with Danish Superliga club Brøndby on 7 September 1999.[2][3] He had a slow start to his career in Europe, mainly a reserve behind Peter Graulund and Ruben Bagger. In his first start for the club on 2 October 2000, he scored a hat-trick against Haderslev FK.[4] The three goals proved to be his only for the club from Vestegnen, as he terminated his contract by mutual consent on 11 September 2002.[5] He ended his career in his native Burkina Faso with Rail Club Kadiogo.[6]
International career
Barro represented the Burkinabé national team at the 1998 African Nations Cup tournament, which finished fourth after losing to Congo DR on penalties in the bronze final. He was later part of the 2000 and 2002 African Nations Cup teams, which finished bottom of their respective groups in the first round of competition, thus failing to secure qualification for the quarter-finals. He played 29 matches for national team and scored 5 goals.
