Abdoulaye Gueye

Abdoulaye Gueye (born 11 August 2003) is an Italian and Senegal professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Fc Wacker Innsbruck.

Early life
Gueye was born in Brescia, Italy, to Senegalese parents.

Club career
Gueye began his footballing career as an outfield player with Leonessa Calcio in his native Italy, before playing in goal at under-12 level for Mario Rigamonti Calcio. He later moved to Munich, Germany, where he failed to find a club for a year before settling at SC München, where he again played outfield. He played as a striker for Stern München for two years, before spending a season at SV Aubing.

In 2020, he trialled with SV Planegg-Krailling as a goalkeeper, and after signing, became the team's first choice goalkeeper at under-19 level. The following year, he was selected to be part of the FC Bayern Munich World Squad initiative - a squad to represent the Bavarian club in international friendlies, stating that he found the opportunity to be "unbelievable".

On his return to club football, Planegg-Krailling wanted to integrate Gueye into the club's first team, but he was advised to join semi-professional side TSV Landsberg, which he did in 2022. He made his debut for the club in a 6–5 penalty shoot out Bavarian Cup win against TSV Schwaben Augsburg on 26 July 2022.

Following the early retirement of TSV Landsberg goalkeeper David Hundertmark, Gueye was promoted to first-choice goalkeeper, to fight for the position alongside new signing Fabio Rašić. He was given a run in the first team, playing five games in March and April 2023.
