Diop was playing in a Senegalese club until that he has been sold to an Equatoguinean club (Renacimiento FC). There the coach of the Equatoguinean national team (that in this moment was the Brazilian Antônio Dumas) proposed him to play him with his selection. This way, he has adopted the Equatoguinean nationality, and he already takes 20 matches with the national team. [4].
