Ismael Diarra Diawara (born 11 November 1994) is a professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Allsvenskan club Sirius.[1][2] Born in Sweden, he plays for the Mali national team.
Club career
On 11 August 2021 Diawara joined reigning Swedish champions Malmö FF after leaving Degerfors IF to serve as backup to Johan Dahlin. He made his debut two weeks later following a Dahlin injury in the Champions League playoff return leg against Bulgarian champions Ludogorets Razgrad. After only conceding a goal on a penalty kick, Diawara and Malmö FF held on to their aggregate lead to advance to the group stage of the tournament.[3]
Following an unsuccessful stay in AIK, he moved on to IK Sirius. Here, he instantly became the starting goalkeeper, including in a victory over AIK.[4]
International career
Born in Sweden, Diawara is Malian by descent. He was called up to represent the Mali national team for 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification matches in September 2021.[5] He debuted with Mali in a 1–0 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification win over Uganda on 14 November 2021.[6]
