Nguenar Ndiaye (born 10 January 1995) is a Senegalese professional footballer who plays as a forward for Division 3 Féminine club Bourges Foot 18 and the Senegal national team.[2]
Ndiaye began playing football at a young age, often with boys in her neighborhood. Her talent was spotted by Jean-Pierre "Tchampou" Corréa of Dorades de Mbour as a goalkeeper, who convinced her family to support her career.[3] She started with Dorades, later joined AFA in Dakar, and in 2020 moved to Dakar Sacré-Cœur during the Division 1 play-offs.[4] The following year, she represented the club in the inaugural 2021 CAF Women's Champions League WAFU Zone A Qualifiers, where she finished as joint top scorer.[5]
In May 2023, She led the club to the Coupe Centre-Val de Loire Féminine title with a hat-trick in a 12–1 trashing of SMOC.[6] At the end of the 2024–25 Division 3 Féminine season, she finished as the league's top scorer with 19 goals, capping off an impressive campaign.[7]
International career
Following a strong performance in the 2022 Women's Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers,[8] where she emerged as Senegal's top scorer with four goals,[9] she was named in the squad for the final tournament held in Morocco in July 2022.[10] She played a decisive role in the team's shootout victory against Tunisia during the Repechage, helping Senegal secure their first-ever appearance in the Inter-confederation play-offs. She was named Player of the Match for her performance.[11][12] She continued to showcase her goalscoring ability following her debut appearance at the WAFCON, netting in friendly matches and playing a key role in helping Senegal secure back-to-back qualification for the 2024 edition of the tournament.[13][14]
