Club career
[edit]Dinamo București
[edit]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
[edit]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]
