Abdoulaye Ba (born 1 January 1991) is a Senegalese professional footballer who plays for Portuguese club F.C. Arouca as a central defender.
Club career[]
Born in Saint-Louis, Ba joined FC Porto's youth ranks in 2008, aged 17. He spent his first two seasons as a senior on loan to two other Portuguese clubs, S.C. Covilhã in the second division and Académica de Coimbra of the Primeira Liga,[2] making his debut in the latter competition on 15 August 2011 in a 2–1 away win against U.D. Leiria[3] and also playing the full 90 minutes against Sporting CP in that campaign's Taça de Portugal final, which ended 1–0 for the Students.[4]
In September 2012, Porto bought back 25% of Ba's economic rights for €750,000 from investor "Pearl Design Holding Limited", with his value being estimated at €3 million at that time.[5] He made his first league appearance for the Dragons on 2 November of that year, coming on as a substitute for injured Maicon in the first half of an eventual 5–0 home victory over C.S. Marítimo.[6]
Ba was sent off for two bookable offences in the final of the Taça da Liga against S.C. Braga on 13 April 2013, the second of which also resulted in a penalty and the game's only goal, scored by Alan in the last minute of the first half.[7] On 3 September, he moved to fellow league team Vitória S.C. for one year.[8]
On 1 February 2014, Ba returned to Porto after appearing sparingly with the Minho Province side.[9] On 4 August, he joined La Liga's Rayo Vallecano also in a temporary deal.[10] In the following summer more of the same, as he moved to Fenerbahçe SK.[11]
For 2016–17, Ba continued in the Turkish Süper Lig, joining Alanyaspor also on loan.[12] After a spell at TSV 1860 Munich marred by injury problems, even though he was an automatic first choice when available,[13][14][15] he returned to Rayo on 30 August 2017 after agreeing to a four-year contract.[16]
Ba returned to the Spanish second tier on 11 March 2020, signing for Deportivo de La Coruña on a short loan due to Michele Somma's serious injury.[17][18] On 8 October, he joined Romanian Liga I club FC Dinamo București on a one-year deal,[19] leaving however after only two months.[20]
International career[]
Ba represented Senegal at the 2012 Summer Olympics.[21] He had won his first cap for the full side on 29 February of that year, in a 0–0 friendly draw with South Africa.
Personal life[]
Ba's older brothers, Mamadou and Pape Samba, were also footballers.[22]
