Early Life & Education

Dan Assane Ndoye was born on October 25, 2000, in Nyon, Switzerland, to Saliou Ndoye, of Senegalese-French descent, and Virginie Ndoye, who is Swiss.

Growing up in the French-speaking town of Nyon, Ndoye’s multicultural background, blending Swiss, Senegalese, and French influences, shaped his identity and adaptability. He holds French citizenship in addition to his Swiss nationality.

As a Christian, Ndoye is deeply connected to his faith. He is also very close to his family, who provide significant support in his career. His sister, Eva Ndoye, and brother, Issa Ndoye, are actively involved in his journey, cheering him on as he progresses in his professional football career.

Growing up, Ndoye began playing football at a young age, joining the youth academy of FC La Côte Sports before moving to FC Lausanne-Sport’s youth system (Team Vaud).

Starting at the local base in Nyon, he quickly advanced, playing for the U18 team by age 15 and scoring 23 goals in 38 games across the U17 and U18 levels. At 17, he joined Team Vaud U21, Lausanne-Sport’s reserve team in the Swiss fourth division, where he scored 7 goals in 21 games.

Specific details about his formal education are not widely documented, as his focus from a young age centered on football. His talent led to a professional contract with Lausanne-Sport in February 2019, and his performances in the Swiss second division earned him a move to Ligue 1 club OGC Nice in January 2020. He remained on loan at Lausanne until the end of the 2019–20 season.

Career

Dan Ndoye’s football career began at FC La Côte Sports in his hometown before moving to FC Lausanne-Sport’s youth academy, Team Vaud. His talent quickly stood out, and by the age of 15, he was already playing for the U18s, scoring 23 goals in 38 matches across the U17 and U18 levels.

At 17, he advanced to Team Vaud U21 in Switzerland’s fourth division, where he scored seven goals in 21 games. His rise earned him a first professional contract with Lausanne-Sport in February 2019, and his strong performances in the Swiss second division paved the way for a transfer to Ligue 1 side OGC Nice in January 2020. He remained on loan with Lausanne for the remainder of the 2019–20 season, contributing to the club’s promotion to the Swiss Super League.

At Nice, Ndoye made his debut in August 2020, impressing by scoring twice in the Europa League and netting his first Ligue 1 goal on December 16, 2020, in a 2–0 win against Nîmes. His displays highlighted his attacking potential and secured him regular call-ups to Switzerland’s U21 squad.

On August 31, 2021, he joined FC Basel on a one-year loan. Ndoye debuted in the league on September 12 in a 1–1 draw with Lugano and scored his first Basel goal on September 30 in a 4–2 Europa Conference League win over Kairat Almaty.

His first league goal came on October 30 in a 3–3 draw against Zürich. Basel triggered their option to buy on February 4, 2022, signing him permanently until 2026. His time in Switzerland further shaped his reputation as a versatile and dynamic forward.

In August 2023, Ndoye signed for Serie A club Bologna alongside teammate Riccardo Calafiori in a €10.2 million deal. He immediately made an impact, scoring on his debut in December’s 2–1 Coppa Italia win over Inter Milan. The 2024–25 season proved to be his breakthrough year as he registered eight goals and four assists in 30 Serie A matches.

A highlight was his decisive strike against Milan at the Stadio Olimpico, which secured Bologna’s first major trophy in 51 years—the Coppa Italia. His season also featured standout performances such as a 7.3 match rating in a 2–0 win over Napoli and a 7.1 rating in a 1–1 draw with Lecce, showcasing his consistency and attacking flair.

On July 31, 2025, Ndoye completed a €35 million move to Premier League side Nottingham Forest, signing a five-year contract. He scored on his Premier League debut on August 17, 2025, in a 3–1 victory over Brentford, earning a SofaScore rating of 7.4.

Despite strong interest from Serie A champions Napoli, Ndoye chose Forest after discussions with his former Bologna teammate Remo Freuler, who spoke highly of the club’s ambitions and European prospects. Forest’s Europa League qualification after finishing seventh further convinced him of the move.

Internationally, Ndoye represented Switzerland across U18, U19, and U21 levels, featuring in the 2021 and 2023 UEFA European U21 Championships. He earned his senior debut on September 24, 2022, in a Nations League clash with Spain.

At UEFA Euro 2024, he was a key figure, starting in the 3–1 win against Hungary and scoring his first senior international goal in a 1–1 draw against Germany on June 23, 2024, helping Switzerland reach the knockout stages.

With Silvan Widmer suspended, Ndoye adapted to a right wing-back role in the 2–0 win over defending champions Italy in the round of 16 and later featured in the quarter-final loss to England, exiting in the 98th minute before the penalty shootout. To date, he has earned 22 senior caps and scored three goals for Switzerland.

A 24-year-old, Ndoye is flourishing at Nottingham Forest. Valued at €35.8 million and contracted until 2030, he is widely regarded as one of Switzerland’s brightest football talents.

Known for his dribbling, crossing, and ability to cut inside, he continues to refine his game, though analysts note areas for improvement in ball retention and defensive contributions.
