Mamadou Diallo (born 2 July 1990) is a Guinean former professional footballer who played as a striker.[2][3]
Career
When Diallo was seven years old, he was inspired to become a footballer after his brother became a professional footballer in the local league.[1]
He signed a contract with Hougang United FC in 2008. He was able to secure a contract and a work permit to ply his trade in Singapore without any issues. The peak of his career in Singapore football was after a season with Hougang United which won him the Yeo's people choice award for 2013 S league season.[4]
For season 2014, Hougang United FC was ready to offer a contract renewal but he was denied a work permit by the Singapore Ministry of Manpower.[citation needed] Upon hearing this, some Hougang United fans started a petition in 2014 as a last effort to dissuade the Ministry from denying the permit;[5] however, his work permit was denied anyway.
