'''Baba Sulemaye''' {{Audio|Yo-Baba Sulemaye.ogg|listen|help=no}} (born 7 November 1978), known as '''Baba Sule''', is a Ghanaian former [footballer](/source/Association_football) who played as a [midfielder](/source/midfielder).

==Club career==
Born in [Kumasi](/source/Kumasi), Sule arrived in Spain not yet aged 18 from his hometown club [Cornerstones FC](/source/Cornerstones_F.C.), and proceeded to represent in the country [RCD Mallorca](/source/RCD_Mallorca), [CD Ourense](/source/CD_Ourense), [CD Leganés](/source/CD_Legan%C3%A9s), [UE Lleida](/source/UE_Lleida), [Tomelloso CF](/source/Tomelloso_CF), [CD San Isidro](/source/CD_San_Isidro), [UE Rapitenca](/source/UE_Rapitenca) and [CF Rayo Majadahonda](/source/CF_Rayo_Majadahonda) in a stay that would last 11 years, in the [Segunda División](/source/Segunda_Divisi%C3%B3n) but also much lower, with very poor individual results: in [1996–97](/source/1996%E2%80%9397_Segunda_Divisi%C3%B3n), he only played three times as Mallorca returned to [La Liga](/source/La_Liga); over five seasons, also in the second tier, he only made seven league appearances for [Madrid](/source/Madrid)-based [CD Leganés](/source/CD_Legan%C3%A9s) due to two serious knee injuries.<ref name=ABC>{{cite news|url=https://www.abc.es/deportes/futbol/abci-baba-sule-campeon-mundo-ahora-utillero-fuenlabrada-201709180832_noticia.html|title=Baba Sule, el campeón del mundo que es ahora utillero en el Fuenlabrada|trans-title=Baba Sule, the world champion who is now a kit man at Fuenlabrada|newspaper=[ABC](/source/ABC_(newspaper))|first=Jorge|last=Abizanda|language=Spanish|date=18 September 2017|accessdate=3 October 2018}}</ref>

In 2008, already with a [Spanish passport](/source/Spanish_nationality_law), Sule moved back to [Africa](/source/Africa), signing with Nigerian team [Kwara United FC](/source/Kwara_United_F.C.). He returned to Spain after his retirement due to injuries, working as an [electrician](/source/electrician), [David de Gea](/source/David_de_Gea)'s personal driver – before the [goalkeeper](/source/Goalkeeper_(association_football)) was eligible for a driving licence – and later a kit man for [Segunda División B](/source/Segunda_Divisi%C3%B3n_B)'s [CF Fuenlabrada](/source/CF_Fuenlabrada).<ref name=ABC/>
