Mahamane Cissé (born December 27, 1993 in Ansongo, Mali) is a Nigerien football player who plays for Greek Football League side AEL Kalloni and the Niger national football team.

International

Born in Mali, Cissé 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 September 7 in a 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Congo, scoring a goal in the 2-2 draw.[1] After the match, Congo filed a complaint with FIFA with regards to Cissé's eligibility to play for Niger.[2] 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.
