Mahamane Cissé (born 27 December 1993) is a professional footballer who plays for FC Nouadhibou. Born in Mali, he plays for the Niger national team.

International

Cissé was born in Mali to a Malian father and Nigerien mother. He represented his country of birth at the 2013 African U-20 Championship in Algeria. However, later that year he opted to represent Niger internationally and made his debut for the Ménas on 7 September in a 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Congo, scoring a goal in the 2–2 draw. After the match, Congo filed a complaint with FIFA with regards to Cissé's eligibility to play for Niger. However, FIFA confirmed that it had accepted a request for a change of association by the player, making him eligible to represent Niger internationally and rejected Congo's appeal.
