Career

Diabaté began his career with IFER and joined Kabby Sport Bongouanou in 2007. From here, he was transferred in January 2008 to FC Dinamo Bucureşti.
After four years, in January 2012 he moved to Ligue 1, signing a contract with French club Dijon FCO. He played for Dijon in 14 games in Ligue 1 but could not avoid the club's relegation. In the first half of the 2012–13 season he appeared in only one game for Dijon in Ligue 2 so the club decided to loan him at Belgian club Standard Liège where he would play for the rest of the season. In Belgium he reunited with Mircea Rednic who coached him at FC Dinamo Bucureşti. After Mircea Rednic left Standard Liège, his contract with the club was not renewed so he went back to Dijon. He later rejoined Rednic who became the new trainer of KAA Gent a few months before, also on loan.
After six months without club, in January 2019, he joined FC Chauray in Championnat National 3, the fifth level in France.
In March 2019, he moved to Persian Gulf Pro League club Foolad.

Diabaté was called to the Ivory Coast U-17 team and played in one match at the 2005 FIFA U-17 World Cup.
