Mory Diaw (born 22 June 1993) is a professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Ligue 2 club Clermont. Born in France, he plays for the Senegal national team.
Club career
Diaw began his career in the youth teams of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). He made one senior appearance, playing 17 minutes in a friendly against TSV Hartberg on 8 July 2014. After being released by PSG in 2015, Diaw signed for Portuguese Segunda Liga outfit Mafra on 29 July 2015.
In April 2017, Diaw went on trial with EFL Championship side Leeds United. He joined Bulgarian side Lokomotiv Plovdiv in July 2017. Following a short and successful trial period, on 8 July 2017 he signed a 2-year contract.
In 2019, Diaw joined FC United Zürich in Switzerland. In June 2019, he signed for second-tier Swiss club Lausanne-Sport, where he replaced the injured second goalkeeper Dany Da Silva.
Diaw made his return to France on 14 June 2022, signing for Ligue 1 side Clermont on a two-year contract with an option for a further year.
On 8 October 2023, in a Ligue 1 match at Montpellier, Diaw was hit by a firework thrown from the crowd, leading to the abandonment of the match.
International career
Diaw made his international debut for Senegal in a 4–2 friendly win over Brazil on 21 June 2023.
In December 2023, he was named in Senegal's squad for the postponed 2023 Africa Cup of Nations held in the Ivory Coast.
Personal life
Born in France, Diaw is of Senegalese descent.
During his time at Paris Saint-Germain, Diaw became a trending topic on social media site Twitter after a string of obscene tweets posted by his account. Tweets included vulgar jokes and even posting the phone number of teammate Zlatan Ibrahimović. Club officials were quick to address the issue, claiming Diaw's account had been hacked. The tweets have since been deleted.
