Abdallahi Mohamed Mahmoud (born 4 May 2000) is a Mauritanian international footballer who plays for Spanish club Deportivo Alavés B as a central defender.

Club career

Born in Dar-Naim, Mahmoud started his career with FC Nouadhibou, first playing for their main squad in 2017. On 8 August 2018, after impressing with the under-20 national team in the L'Alcúdia International Football Tournament, he signed for La Liga side Deportivo Alavés, being initially assigned to the youth setup.[4]

Midway through the 2018–19 season, Mahmoud started to appear with the reserves in Tercera División, and contributed with one goal in 12 appearances (play-offs included) as his side achieved promotion to Segunda División B. On 11 May 2020, he was one of the five B-team players called up to train with the main squad for the remainder of the campaign after the COVID-19 pandemic.[5]

Mahmoud made his first team – and La Liga – debut on 27 June 2020, starting in a 1–2 loss at Atlético Madrid.[6] His next appearance came in a 2–0 loss against Real Madrid, entering as a substitute in the 55th minute.

International career

After representing Mauritania at under-20 level in the 2018 COTIF tournament, Mahmoud was first called up for the full side on 27 August 2018, for a 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualification match against Burkina Faso.[7] He made his international debut on 8 September, coming on as a late substitute for Abdoulaye Gaye in the 2–0 win.[8]
