Mama Samba Baldé (born 6 November 1995) is a Bissau-Guinean professional footballer who plays as a winger and right-back for Ligue 1 club Troyes and the Guinea-Bissau national team. He also holds Portuguese citizenship.

Club career[edit]

Sporting CP[edit]

Born in Bissau, Baldé moved to Portugal before his tenth birthday. In 2013, he signed with Sporting CP for his last year as a junior, arriving for free from Sintrense.[2]

Baldé made his professional debut with the reserves on 11 May 2014, coming on as a 75th-minute substitute in a 1–0 away win against Braga B in the Segunda Liga.[3] In January 2015, he was loaned to third division side Benfica de Castelo Branco until June.[4]

Returned to Sporting B for 2015–16, Baldé scored his first league goal on 30 September 2015, but in a 1–3 home defeat to Olhanense.[5] He totalled 38 appearances during the season, helping to a tenth-place finish in the second tier.

Baldé went on loan to Primeira Liga club Aves in the summer of 2017.[6] His first match in the competition occurred on 11 September, when he started as a right-back in the 2–1 home victory over Belenenses.[7]

In February 2019, Baldé became Aves' all-time scorer in the Portuguese top flight with nine goals.[2]

Dijon[edit]

On 27 June 2019, Baldé joined Dijon on a three-year contract.[8] He made his Ligue 1 debut on 10 August, playing the first half of a 1–2 home loss against Saint-Étienne.[9]

Baldé scored seven times during the 2020–21 campaign, but his team suffered relegation as last.[10]

Troyes[edit]

On 31 July 2021, Baldé agreed to a four-year deal at Troyes in the same country and league.[11]

International career[edit]

Baldé won his first cap for Guinea-Bissau on 8 June 2019, in a friendly against Angola where he replaced Toni Silva (2–0 loss in Penafiel).[12] He was selected in the squad for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations tournament.[13]
