Club career

Zié Diabaté began his career with IFER and joined Kabby Sport Bongouanou in 2007. From here, he was transferred in January 2008 to FC Dinamo București.

After four years, in January 2012 he moved to Ligue 1, signing a contract with French club Dijon FCO.[1] He played for Dijon in 14 games in Ligue 1 but could not avoid the club's relegation. In the first half of the 2012–13 season he appeared in only one game for Dijon in Ligue 2 so the club decided to loan him at Belgian club Standard Liège[2] where he would play for the rest of the season. In Belgium he reunited with Mircea Rednic who coached him at FC Dinamo București. After Mircea Rednic left Standard Liège, his contract with the club was not renewed so he went back to Dijon. He later rejoined Rednic who became the new trainer of KAA Gent a few months before, also on loan.

After six months without club, in January 2019, he joined FC Chauray in Championnat National 3, the fifth level in France.[3]

In March 2019, he moved to Persian Gulf Pro League club Foolad.[4]

International career

Zié Diabaté was called to the Ivory Coast U-17 team and played in a 1–1 against United States U-17 at the 2005 FIFA U-17 World Cup.[5][6] He played one game under coach Hervé Renard for Ivory Coast's senior team on 30 November 2014 in a 2–0 loss against South Africa in the friendly tournament called Nelson Mandela Challenge which took place outside FIFA's International Match Calendar, having his side's biggest opportunity to score as he executed a free kick over the crossbar.[7][8][9]
