Haidara was born i Guinea and started his football journey at Academie Sportive Marie Louise Mandet in Guinea.[2] After a training camp with Danish 3rd Division club Ishøj IF in February 2023, the club confirmed in January 2024, a year later, that they had signed Haidara from Turkish MKE Ankaragücü, where he had played for the club's U-19 team.[3]

Haidara had a very good season in Ishøj, which also ended with the club being promoted to the 2024–25 Danish 2nd Division. After the season, there was great interest from many clubs in Haidara, who also ended up trying out for both FC Midtjylland and Sønderjyske.[4][5]

On 4 July 2024, newly promoted Danish Superliga club Sønderjyske confirmed that Haidara joined the club on a deal until June 2028.[6][7] On 26 July 2024 Haidara made his debut in the Danish Superliga when he came on with just under 20 minutes left in a match against Lyngby Boldklub.[8]
