Career[]

Djinga played his youth football with Vitesse FC in Burkina Faso. After having received various call-ups to their first team and having made his team debut during the last games of the 2018-19 season, he advanced to their squad in the 2019-20 season. Djinga played 14 games for them, scoring one goal, in the Deuxième Division the second tier of football in Burkina Faso. Despite the season remaining uncompleted due to the COVID-19 pandemic, because the team were league leaders, they won promotion to the Burkinabé Premier League. In the following season Djinga was regular starter in the team. He received a calls-up to the Burkina Faso U-20 team and played four games for them in the 2021 Africa U-20 Cup of Nations.[citation needed]

During the transfer window in the summer of 2021, Djiga signed for Swiss top flight side FC Basel after receiving interest from Lille OSC in the French Ligue 1 and Belgian and Spanish clubs.[1] Basel announced his signing on 19 June.[2]

After having played in five test games, on 29 July 2021 Djinga debuted for FC Basel's first team during a 2–0 away win over Partizani in the second qualifying round of the 2021–22 UEFA Europa Conference League.[3] Unfortunately Djinga injured himself during the game and was forced out for six weeks with a capsular ligament injury in the left ankle.[4] He returned to the team on 19 September to play the Swiss Cup match against armature team FC Rorschach-Goldach.[5]

On 24 October Djinga then played his Swiss Super League debut for his new club in the home game at St. Jakob-Park as Basel won 2–0 against Lugano and he played the entire game.[6]
