Bacar Baldé (born 15 January 1992) is a Bissau-Guinean former professional footballer who played mainly as a left back, but also as a left midfielder.
Club career
Born in Bissau, Baldé moved to Portugal at the age of 17, and played two years with FC Porto's juniors.[2] He made his debut as a senior with F.C. Paços de Ferreira in the Primeira Liga during the 2011–12 season,[3] [4] but was also loaned twice to clubs in the Segunda Liga.[5]
Baldé signed with Poland's Zawisza Bydgoszcz in the summer of 2013.[6] However, shortly after, and without having made a single official appearance, he returned to Portugal and joined Atlético Clube de Portugal also of the second division.[7]
On 26 June 2014, Baldé returned to Portugal and its second tier with S.C. Beira-Mar.[8] He signed for Vitória S.C. one year later,[9] being immediately loaned to Vasco da Gama (South Africa).[10]
In February 2016, Baldé arrived in Serbia along with Pedro Sass Petrazzi,[11] but he only joined FK Borac Čačak officially in August after his former club dissolved.[12] He made his debut in the Superliga late in that month, when he came on as a late substitute in a 1–0 away loss against OFK Bačka.
Baldé returned to Portugal subsequently, his spell in Serbia having been marred by financial problems.[13] In June 2020, he signed with SC Vianense of the third division.[14]
International career
Baldé earned his first cap for Guinea-Bissau on 4 September 2010 at the age of 18, in a 1–0 home win over Kenya for the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
