Fouad "Fred" Bachirou (born 15 April 1990) is a French-born Comorian international footballer who plays for omonia Nicosia.

Career
Paris Saint-Germain
Born in Valence, Bachirou started his career in the youth teams at local side Football Club de la Place de Clichy, before winning a move to Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain, where he played in the CFA side in the French third division – scoring once against UJA Maccabi Paris Métropole.
Greenock Morton
He transferred to Greenock Morton in July 2010, after a trial spell at the club. He made his competitive debut for Greenock Morton in a Scottish Challenge Cup match against Dumbarton on 25 July 2010. In June 2011, Bachirou signed a new one-year contract at Morton. After over 50 appearances for the club, Bachirou scored his first goal in a 2–2 draw with Queen of the South on 7 April 2012. Bachirou stated he would not be seeking a new contract with the club in May 2012. On 17 August 2012, Bachirou made a U-turn and re-signed for the club, after rejecting a move to league rivals Hamilton Accies.
In September 2013, he signed a contract extension until summer 2015.
Östersunds FK
Bachirou made a surprise move to Östersunds FK in August 2014. He made his debut from the bench away to promoted club Husqvarna FF. During his time at Östersund they managed to get a promotion to Allsvenskan, win the Swedish Cup and qualify for the 2017–18 UEFA Europa League.
Malmö FF
On 9 January 2018, Swedish champions Malmö FF confirmed the transfer of Bachirou for an estimated fee of around 7 million SEK (roughly £600,000).
Nottingham Forest
On 26 August 2020, Bachirou joined EFL Championship side Nottingham Forest for an undisclosed transfer fee. He made his first-team debut in a 1–0 EFL Cup defeat to Barnsley.
International career
In February 2014, Bachirou received a call-up to the Comoros national football team for their friendly against Burkina Faso. Bachirou played for 90 minutes as Comoros recorded a respectable 1–1 draw in Marseille, France.
He made his first competitive appearance, and won his second cap, in the first leg of an Africa Cup of Nations first round qualifier away to Kenya in Nairobi. Bachirou started the match but couldn't prevent Comoros from suffering a narrow 1–0 defeat.
