Club career

In March 2024, Ndiaye signed her first professional contract abroad, joining French Division 2 Féminine side Thonon Evian GG FC.[3][4]

International career

Ndiaye began representing Senegal at the under-20 level in 2021,[5] taking part in two FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup qualifying campaigns in 2022 and 2024. She also helped the team win back-to-back WAFU Zone A regional tournaments in 2023 and 2024, captaining the side during the latter edition.[6]

In January 2023, at the age of 19, she received her first call-up to the senior national team for the 2023 WAFU Zone A Women's Cup held in Cape Verde.[7] Since then, she has established herself as a regular member of the Senegalese squad.
