Senegal international Mbaye Diagne targets sensational 30 goals after historic Amedspor promotion

Amedspor have secured promotion to the Turkish Süper Lig for the first time in their history, with striker Mbaye Diagne already setting his sights on an immediate impact in the top division.

The club confirmed their place in the top flight following a 3-3 draw against Igdir on the final day of the second division season on Saturday, 2 May.

The result sparked celebrations across the city of Diyarbakır, where supporters marked a milestone achievement for the team.

This promotion represents a historic breakthrough for Amedspor, who will now compete in Turkey’s highest level of football for the first time.

The team’s campaign has been shaped by consistency and key individual performances, most notably from Diagne.

The 34-year-old Senegal international has played a central role in the club’s success.

Over the course of the season, he scored 29 goals and provided seven assists in 36 appearances, figures that underline his importance in securing promotion.

Diagne’s contribution extends beyond statistics.

His experience has been a defining factor in guiding the team through a demanding campaign, culminating in a result that ensured their elevation to the Süper Lig.

The achievement also adds to Diagne’s personal record, as he has now been involved in three consecutive promotions with three different clubs, having previously achieved similar success with Al-Qadisiah and Neom in Saudi Arabia.

Speaking after the match to beIN SPORTS Turkey, the striker reflected on the moment while also looking ahead to what comes next.

“Today, I’m truly very happy. I swear, the whole team did a fantastic job, and we believe that today, Allah has granted us these three points and crowned us champions. It wasn’t easy before, but I’m also very happy to be here and that the team won to keep my promise. Now, let’s enjoy this moment. I don’t know what the future holds, but the Super League is my home, I already know that, so no worries. Let’s enjoy this moment with our fans, with our city and our family, and then we’ll think about next season. I’ll be back in the Super League and I’ll score 30 goals again,” he said.

His comments capture both the significance of the achievement and the ambition that remains within the squad.

While the immediate focus is on celebrating promotion, attention is already beginning to shift towards the challenges of competing in the top tier.

For Amedspor, the step up represents a new phase in the club’s history.

Moving into the Süper Lig will bring increased competition, but also an opportunity to establish themselves at a higher level.

The scenes in Diyarbakır reflected the importance of the moment for supporters, who have followed the club’s journey to this point.

Promotion has been described as a landmark achievement, marking a new chapter for both the team and the city.

Diagne’s role in that journey has been widely recognised.

His goal-scoring record has provided a foundation for the team’s success, and his experience has contributed to navigating key moments during the season.

The final match against Igdir, which ended in a 3-3 draw, proved sufficient to secure promotion.

It brought to a close a campaign that required consistency over time, with Amedspor maintaining their position among the leading teams in the division.

Looking ahead, the focus will shift to preparation for the Süper Lig.

While Diagne has already outlined his personal ambitions, the team as a whole will need to adapt to the demands of top-flight football.

The striker’s statement about scoring 30 goals next season highlights the confidence within the squad.

It also reflects his familiarity with the league, having previously played at that level during his career.

For now, however, the emphasis remains on celebration.

Promotion to the Süper Lig represents a defining moment, and one that will be remembered by supporters as the club prepares for its debut in the top division.

As the new season approaches, Amedspor will enter unfamiliar territory, but with momentum built on a successful campaign and the presence of a proven goal scorer in Diagne.
