Dion Lopy (born 2 February 2002) is a Senegalese professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder for Segunda División club Almería and the Senegal national team.
Reims
Lopy played youth football for the Oslo Football Academy in the 3rd tier of Senegalese football, before being signed for a compensatory fee by French club Stade de Reims in 2020 after Lopy represented Senegal at the 2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup.[2]
Lopy played briefly for Reims' second team in the Championnat National 2, before making his Ligue 1 debut in a 2–2 draw with Stade Rennais on 4 April 2021.[3] In the 2022–23 season, he became a first-team regular at Reims, benefitting from manager Will Still's preference for a younger age profile to his squad.[4][5]
Almería
On 5 August 2023, Lopy was announced at La Liga side Almería on a six-year contract.[6]
