Club career
Having begun his career at Guédiawaye in his native Senegal, Fall joined French club Saint-Étienne on a professional deal on 5 January 2021, following the termination of Stéphane Ruffier's contract at the club.[2][3] Seven months later on 5 August, Fall extended his contract with Saint-Étienne until June 2025.[4][5][6] On 30 December 2022, he made his professional debut for the club in a 1–1 Ligue 2 draw against Caen.[7] In March 2023, Fall suffered a meniscus injury for which he had to undergo surgery; Saint-Étienne announced that he would be expected to spend six months on the sidelines.[8]
International career
With the Senegal U20s, Fall was designated as the best goalkeeper in the 2019 WAFU U-20 Tournament, a competition won by Senegal.[2][6] He went on to win the 2020 Arab Cup U-20 with the same team.[5]
