Marième Badiane (born 24 November 1994 in Brest) is a French basketball player for Fenerbahçe and the French national team.[3] Standing at 1.91m (06.27feet), she plays center.
She is daughter of former basketball players Abdoulaye Badiane who played as shooting guard for Étendard de Brest between 1989-2000 and Cathy Silinski who played as center for Étoile Saint-Laurent Brest.[4] [5] She is of Senegalese descent through her father.[6]
She started her career with Centre fédéral where she spent three years and signed her first professional contract with Roche Vendée of Ligue 2. She said "Aix and Mondeville made great offers to me (...) but I chose the Ligue 2 option with Roche Vendée, to have more playing time and gain experience. I really like the sports project, and I can continue my studies in biology easily" then.[7]
She only stayed there for a year and joined another Ligue 2 team, Champagne Basket Reims.[8] Although courted during the summer by Belgian and LFB clubs, she chose to stay for another season in Champagne Basket Reims to complete her biology degree before starting an exclusively sporting career.[9]
Following a good season in Champagne Basket Reims (12.1 pts and 8.1 rebounds on average), she signed in April (2015) in LFB for Mondeville.[10]
At the end of 2016-2017 season, she was signing up for three seasons with ASVEL, a club recently taken over by Tony Parker.[11] Then from November (2019), she renewed her commitment to ASVEL for the period of 2020-2023.[12] She is skipping the 2020-2021 LFB season due to maternity.[13]
She successfully returned to competition in 2022-2023 at BLMA and continued the following year (11.7 points and 6.4 rebounds in 9 matches and 14.8 points and 5.2 rebounds in the EuroCup Women), but she committed in February (2023) by the Turkish powerhouse Fenerbahçe,[14] managed by Valérie Garnier, to strengthen their squad in EuroLeague Women.[15] where she won the 2023–24 EuroLeague Women.[16]
She is part of French national team.[17]
