On 11 August 2021 Diawara joined reigning Swedish champions Malmö FF to serve as backup to Johan Dahlin. He made his debut two weeks later following a Dahlin injury in the Champions League playoff return leg against Bulgarian champions Ludogorets Razgrad. After only conceding a goal on a penalty kick, Diawara and Malmö FF held on to their aggregate lead to advance to the group stage of the tournament.[3]
Born in Sweden, Diawara is of Malian descent. He was called up to represent the Mali national team for 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification matches in September 2021.[4] He debuted with Mali in a 1–0 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification win over Uganda on 14 November 2021.[5]
