Mame Mor Ndiaye (born 23 May 1997) is a Senegalese football striker who plays forKFUM.
Ndiaye moved with his entire family fromSenegal toBrescia in Italy as a child.[1] After being discovered in a small, local team he enjoyed a period inBrescia Primavera before playing for Rigamonti Castegnato and Rezzato. In the summer of 2018, he trained withWalsall F.C. in England. As a transfer agreement could not be made, Ndiaye stayed in England and trained with Bilston Town. Eventually, his England-based agent found an opening in Norway. Ndiaye signed forIF Fram Larvik in the third tier.[2]
Ndiaye did not become an instant goalscorer at Fram.[3][4] In early 2019 he was on trial atKvik Halden FK,[5] and in November 2019 he trained with first-tier clubKristiansund BK,[6] but remained in Fram. His goalscoring picked up with 11 goals in 24 games in 2019, and 9 in 13 games in 2020.[3]
In the summer of 2020, he had attracted interest from a handful of clubs, and ended up signing forRaufoss IL, a team firmly placed in the second tier. Ndiaye declined joining any of the teams that battled against relegation to the third tier.[1]
The 2021 season was successful, with Ndiaye scoring 10 goals in the2021 1. divisjon. This happened despite a dislocated shoulder in the latter stages of the season. He went on to play significantly less in 2022, especially as a starter. According to a journalist in ‘’Oppland Arbeiderblad’’, the coaches wanted their forwards to employ an even more physical style and run more. He did not leave during the summer transfer window, vowing to regain his starting spot. After the 2022 season, though, his contract with Raufoss expired. While on the lookout for a new club, he trained withIK Start. In February 2023, Ndiaye signed forÅsane.[7][8][9]
The2023 1. divisjon became rather successful for Ndiaye, again with 10 goals. He was the 6th top goalscorer in the league, and the most prolific goalscorer among those who did not take penalty kicks.[10]Nettavisen named Ndiaye as the 14th best player of the2023 1. divisjon, stating that his goals were the main reason that Åsane avoided relegation.[11]
Nevertheless, Ndiaye only had a 1-and-a-half-year contract and Åsane hesitated in offering a new one.[10] He signed forEliteserien teamKFUM in March 2024, shortly before the winter transfer window closed.[12]
Ndiaye is regarded as atarget forward.[6][1] His favourite player wasDidier Drogba, and his favourite teamAC Milan. He stated that despite holding an Italian passport, "my experience is that it’s tough there for a coloured person."[2]
