Brahima Diarra (born 5 July 2003) is a professional footballer who last played as a midfielder for UAE Pro League club Al Wahda. Born in France, he plays for the Mali U23 national team.

Club career

[edit]

Born in Paris, France, Diarra started his football career playing for local Parisian club Montrouge F.C. 92, before moving to Athletic Club de Boulogne-Billancourt.[3]

Alongside fellow Frenchman Loick Ayina, he moved to Huddersfield Town in July 2019, and they both signed professional contracts with the club a year later.[4]

Diarra made his senior debut for Huddersfield Town on 12 December 2020, when he played as a substitute in their 5–0 EFL Championship defeat against AFC Bournemouth.[5]

On 4 January 2022, Diarra joined EFL League Two side Harrogate Town on loan for the remainder of the 2021–22 season.[6]

International career

[edit]

Diarra is eligible to represent either France or Mali internationally, as he was born in France to parents from Mali.[7] On 17 March 2023, Diarra was selected to play for the Mali national under-23 football team for their Africa U-23 Cup of Nations qualifiers against Senegal U23. He made his debut as a second half substitute in their 3–1 loss to Senegal on 22 March 2023.[8]
