Club career

Due to the virtually non-existent state of women's football in Mauritania, largely because of religious and cultural factors, Diabira moved to Senegal, where some of her family lives, and joined AS Dakar Sacré-Cœur in the women's championship to pursue better opportunities for her football career. During the 2023–24 season, she emerged as the league's top scorer, netting 16 goals in 19 appearances.

Diabira has represented Mauritania internationally since the inception of the women's national team in 2019, receiving her first call-up for the team's historic debut match against Djibouti. Where she made her international debut in a 1–3 loss to les Gazelles. In August of that same year, she took part in the 2019 COTIF Women's Football Tournament in Alcúdia, Spain, where she scored Mauritania's only goal of the competition in a match against the Villarreal CF under-19 team. Diabira became a regular fixture for Les Mourabitounes, earning a place in the squad for all of Mauritania's international regional tournaments, including the UNAF Tunisia 2020, the WAFU A Cape Verde 2023, and the WAFU A Mauritania 2025. In the latter, she made history by scoring Mauritania's first-ever goal in a competitive regional tournament, equalizing against Liberia to earn the team their first-ever point.
