Fouad "Fred" Bachirou (born 15 April 1990 in Valence) is a French-born Comorian international footballer who plays for Östersunds FK after leaving Greenock Morton in the Scottish Championship. He made his competitive debut for Greenock Morton in a Scottish Challenge Cup match against Dumbarton on 25 July 2010.
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.
He transferred to Greenock Morton in July 2010, after a trial spell at the club. 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.
Bachirou made a surprise move to Östersunds FK in August 2014. He made his debut from the bench away to promoted club Husqvarna FF.
In February 2014, Bachirou received a call-up to the Comoros national football team for their friendly with Burkina Faso. Bachirou played for 90 minutes as Comoros recorded a respectable 1-1 draw in Marseille.
