Kadidiatou Diani (born 1 April 1995) is a French professional footballer who plays as a forward for Première Ligue club Lyon and the France national team.

International career

Diani has played for France at several youth levels, including in the 2012 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup, where she scored four goals and helped her side winning the championship.[3] She also played in the 2014 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup, scoring one goal against New Zealand and helping France to finish in the third place.[3] On 24 February 2023 she announced she would no longer play for the national team after captain Wendie Renard said she would step down to save her mental health. Diani said she wanted changes to be made to the way the team was managed.[4] On 2 August 2023, she scored a hat-trick in a 6–3 victory over Panama in the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup last group stage match.[5]

Personal life

Diani was born in Ivry-sur-Seine, France on 1 April 1995, and is of Malian descent.[6]

Her "adviser", César Mavacala, was a suspect in the Hamraoui case.[7] In February 2022, she caused a controversy with Marie-Antoinette Katoto for her support to Aminata Diallo during a goal celebration for France.[8]
