Although it seems that Karaboue plays second fiddle to the former World Handball Player Thierry Omeyer, his 105 international matches speak for themselves. He contributed to all great successes the French national team has achieved since 2005. The goalkeeper who was born in Abidjan (Côte d'Ivoire) and has one daughter also wanted to participate in the Olympic Games in Athens, but he suffered an injury during the preparation and had to watch the matches heavy-heartedly from the bench. After playing for Hamelin (GER) and Zurich (SUI), Karaboue transferred to the French serial champion Montpellier in 2004.
After playing for Guadeloupe, Dijon and Montpellier, the model athlete, who is 1.97 meter tall, finally transferred to Ciudad Real for which he has been playing since 2003. In his free time, Dinart, who has one daughter, likes to go fishing and play golf.
