Mamadou Obbi Oularé (born 8 January 1996) is a Belgian professional footballer who plays for Watford. He is son of former professional Guinean footballer Souleymane Oulare.
Oulare came through the youth ranks at Lille OSC and signed for Belgian side Club Brugge in 2013. He made his Belgian Pro League debut on 14 September 2014 against K.R.C. Genk. He replaced Nikola Storm after 64 minutes. His first league start came on 21 September 2014 against K.V. Kortrijk, in which he also scored his first league goal in a man of the match performance. On 20 August 2015, while playing for Club Brugge, Obbi Oulare tweeted an apology for his lackluster performance coming off the bench against Manchester United in a Champions League playoff game at Old Trafford. Earlier that day it was widely reported in the Belgian press that Club Brugge's manager Michel Preud'homme had given Oulare a dressing down in front of his team mates in the dressing room after that game.
On 1 September 2015, Oulare signed for Premier League side Watford for an undisclosed fee rumored to be around £6m on a five-year contract. He made his debut for the club in an FA Cup tie against Newcastle United on 9 January 2016. He was substituted at half time. He made his Premier League debut, against Swansea City in a 1–0 Watford defeat, coming on as a substitute for Valon Behrami in the 87th minute.
