Ismael Diarra Diawara (born 11 November 1994) is a professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Allsvenskan club AIK.[1][2] Born in Sweden, he plays for the Mali national team.

Club career[edit]

Malmö FF[edit]

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]

International career[edit]

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.[4] He debuted with Mali in a 1–0 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification win over Uganda on 14 November 2021.[5]
