Abdoulaye Faye

Abdoulaye Faye of Celta Vigo was born in Kaolack, Senegal on 22 September 2004 (age 21).

Abdoulaye Faye, born on 22 September 2004 (age 21), is a Senegalese central defender with Celta Vigo. An imposing 6ft 3in (1.91m), he wears squad number four and is plainly built for the middle of a back line.

His clearest run of senior football came in Sweden with Orgryte IS in 2024, when he made 22 league appearances. That spell gave him regular first-team minutes before the move into the Spanish game with Celta Vigo.

In 2026-27, Faye has made one LaLiga appearance for Celta Vigo. At this stage, his career is still taking shape: a young Senegalese centre-half with senior experience in Sweden and a foothold, however modest, in Spain.
