36 appearances in recorded line-ups · 2003–2015The archive holds 36 team sheets naming Seydou Keita in Mali's starting line-up, from 2003-10-10 to 2015-01-28.
36 appearances in the starting line-ups the archive holds — not a career total. Our line-up coverage is partial, so a match he played that we hold no sheet for is simply not counted here.
