'''Hamed Modibo Diallo''' (born December 18, 1976) is an Ivorian former professional [footballer](/source/Association_football) who played as a [forward](/source/Forward_(association_football)).

==Club career==
Born in [Zahia](/source/Zahia), Ivory Coast, Diallo began his career in France, initially in the youth academy of [Le Havre](/source/Le_Havre_AC), and later playing for [Laval](/source/Stade_Lavallois), [Amiens](/source/Amiens_SC), [Angers](/source/Angers_SCO), as well as with [Al Rayyan](/source/Al-Rayyan_Sports_Club) in Qatar, [Hammarby](/source/Hammarby_Fotboll) in Sweden, [Turris](/source/F.C._Turris_1944_A.S.D.) in Italy, and [Excelsior Virton](/source/R.E._Virton) in Belgium. He was the top scorer in the French [Ligue 2](/source/Ligue_2) twice: in 1999 with Laval, and in 2002 with Amiens. He acquired [French nationality](/source/French_nationality_law) by [naturalization](/source/naturalization) on 22 July 1999.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://fr.1001mags.com/parution/le-foot/numero-89-septembre-1999/page-8-9-texte-integral | title=Le Foot n°89 septembre 1999 - Page 8 - 9 - le Foot n°89 septembre 1999 - le Foot - football - collectifs - Sports - 1001mags - Magazines en PDF à 1 € et GRATUITS ! }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=JORF n° 0168 du 23 juillet 1999 - Légifrance |url=https://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/jorf/jo/1999/07/23/0168 |access-date=2023-11-06 |website=legifrance.gouv.fr |page=10971 |language=fr |format=PDF}}</ref>

Diallo came to the United States in 2007 to play for [Rochester Raging Rhinos](/source/Rochester_Raging_Rhinos) in the [USL First Division](/source/USL_First_Division). During the 2007 season with Rochester, Diallo was a regular starter up front along with English-born [striker](/source/Striker_(association_football)) [Matthew Delicate](/source/Matthew_Delicate); however, during 2008 Diallo gradually became a less frequent member of new coach [Darren Tilley](/source/Darren_Tilley)'s squad, and had only eventually logged 474 minutes of playing time in 13 USL matches during the 2008 season.<ref>[http://www.rhinossoccer.com/team/index.php?team=men Rochester Rhinos men's team 2008 roster] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070714173611/http://www.rhinossoccer.com/team/index.php?team=men |date=2007-07-14 }}</ref>

On July 9, 2008, Diallo was transferred to [Carolina RailHawks](/source/Carolina_RailHawks) in return for [Jamil Walker](/source/Jamil_Walker). Diallo produced a top-notch season with RailHawks in his debut season, where he recorded a hat-trick against the [Seattle Sounders](/source/Seattle_Sounders_(1994%E2%80%932008)) despite losing the match on a score of 4–3. He finished off the season by scoring seven goals and registering three assists in 16 games to finish with a team-leading 17 points. Despite a promising debut season, Diallo unfortunately failed to regain his previous form that dominated the 2008 season; which led to limited playing time during the 2009 season. On March 8, 2010, the [Real Maryland Monarchs](/source/Real_Maryland_Monarchs) announced the signing of Diallo to a contract for the 2010 season.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.uslsoccer.com/home/408137.html |title=Real Maryland signs Diallo |access-date=2010-03-09 |work=USLsoccer.com |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101010143336/http://www.uslsoccer.com/home/408137.html |archive-date=2010-10-10 }}</ref>
