Career

Laokandi, who moved to France at the age of eight, started his career with the reserves of French Ligue 1 side Reims. After that, he played college soccer in the United States, where he said "it's completely different from France. Here, it's work, work, work... Because if you don't get good grades, you don't play. You have no choice. In France, there are a lot of individualities, there, everyone plays and defends together. They are very focused on the physical, more than the technique." In 2017, Laokandi signed for American club New York Red Bulls U-23. In 2019, he signed for French amateur club Cormontreuil FC.
