Mahamadou Diarra

Mahamadou Diarra is a Malian retired footballer, born in Bamako in 1981. ¹ A defensive midfielder, he won league titles in France with Lyon and in Spain with Real Madrid, and captained the Mali national team. ¹ The sources report his Ramadan fasting and file him by category among Malian Muslims but name no school for him, so his data record records his faith as unknown. ¹²

Diarra began at OFI Crete and Vitesse before joining Lyon in 2002, where he won four consecutive French league titles. ¹ Real Madrid signed him in 2006; he won Spanish league honours there before spells at Monaco and Fulham closed his career. ¹

Diarra captained Mali and represented his country at several Africa Cup of Nations tournaments. ¹ He is a different man from Lassana Diarra, the French midfielder who was briefly his Real Madrid teammate. ¹

The English article reports that Diarra fasted during the Islamic month of Ramadan while at Real Madrid, and its categories file him among Malian Muslims. ¹ The French and Arabic articles make no statement of his religion at all, and Wikidata gives his religion simply as Islam. ³⁴² Reported practice, a category filing and a generic structured value are not two sources naming a school, so his record states his faith as unknown. ¹
