Mamadouba Diaby (born 16 February 1997) is a footballer who plays as a left-back for Juventud de Torremolinos CF in Spain. Born in the Ivory Coast, he represents Guinea internationally.

Career

Diaby was a squad member for the Guinea national under-17 football team for both the 2017 U-20 Africa Cup of Nations and the 2017 FIFA U-20 World Cup.[1] After the World Cup he moved to Europe, going on trial with AFC Eskilstuna and signing for Eskilstuna City FK, reportedly as part of "a project" together with AFC.[2] He continued on to AFC the next year, and did make his Superettan debut, but barely played.[3] Following a trial with Linköping City in early 2019,[4] he had two spells in Assyriska FF and one each in IFK Haninge and Hammarby TFF.[5]

In 2023 he played for Ettan newcomers Nordic United FC.[6] Ahead of the 2024 season he changed clubs again, this time to Degerfors IF.[7]

In June 2024, he scored his first goal in the Superettan, six years after making his debut on the second tier.[8] Furthermore the season ended in promotion to the 2025 Allsvenskan. Diaby was thus set to play in Sweden's highest league, eight years after arriving in the country.[9] He also received some attention for wearing a hockey helmet as the Degerfors football team, walking on foot and not on skates, was presented in Nobelhallen; and for receiving two yellow cards in only 4 minutes against IFK Gothenburg in August 2025.[10][11]

In January 2026 he sustained a slipped disc, sidelining him for the rest of the winter and early spring.[12] He was released in the summer of 2026, but managed to secure a transfer to Spanish club Juventud de Torremolinos CF.[13]
