Club career

Dinamo București

On 27 June 2023, Dinamo București announced the signing of Abdallah, their first transfer after the team won promotion back to Liga I.[1] He made his official debut for the club on 17 July 2023, when he started the game and played 65 minutes in the 0-2 home loss against Universitatea Craiova.[2] After 12 games without scoring, his first goal for the team came on 8 October 2023, in the 1-1 home draw against CFR Cluj.[3] His performance in that match was however criticized in the media, as he missed an important chance to score in the 70th minute, when the score was 1-1.[4] On 18 December 2023, he came in as a substitute for Dennis Politic in the 73rd minute, and he scored the second goal in the 2-0 away win against Botoșani.[5] In the following game, on 22 December 2023, Abdallah came once again as a substitute in the 46th minute, and he obtained the deciding penalty in the last minutes of the 1-0 win against Voluntari,[6] being selected as Man of the Match.[7] On 27 January 2024, Abdallah scored in the 1-2 loss against Rapid București[8] and, despite the result, he was named Man of the Match.[9] After this match, Rapid București manager Cristiano Bergodi declared: "It was a very nice goal from Abdallah, I like a lot how he played against us. He is good, very good!".[10] On 18 February 2024, he converted a penalty and produced two assists in the 3-1 home win against Oțelul Galați[11] entering once again the Liga 1 Team of the Week.[12] After a long period of poor form in the relegation group games, Abdallah opened the score on 12 May 2024 in the 2-0 victory against UTA Arad,[13] a victory which allowed Dinamo to avoid relegation.

Abdallah began the 2024-25 Liga I season playing on the right side of a three man attack line, under manager Željko Kopić. In the first game of the season, on 14 July, he scored once and assisted Cătălin Cîrjan in the 2-3 away loss against CFR Cluj,[14] being selected in the Liga 1 Team of the Week.[15] On 21 July, he opened the score in the 4-1 home win over Petrolul Ploiești.[16]

International career

Abdallah was born in the French overseas territory of Réunion to a Comorian father and Malagasy mother.[17] He debuted for the Madagascar national team in a friendly 2–1 loss to Burkina Faso on 11 October 2020.[18]
