Amad Diallo

Amad Diallo is a winger who plays for Manchester United. He is currently newsworthy due to his performances for the Ivory Coast national team in the 2025 and 2026 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON). As of December 2025, Diallo scored the lone goal in Ivory Coast's 1-0 victory against Mozambique, securing a winning start to their AFCON title defense. In January 2026, he starred in Ivory Coast's 3-0 win over Burkina Faso in the round of 16, scoring the opening goal and assisting the second. This victory made Ivory Coast the first defending champions since 2010 to reach the quarterfinals, where they are scheduled to face Egypt. Diallo's contributions are significant as they are helping Ivory Coast progress in the tournament and maintain their status as a strong contender.
