The daughter of international basketball player Fatoumata Traoré, Fall had to choose between basketball and rugby and ultimately opted for rugby because she found it more enjoyable, even though her family was very basketball orientated. In 2021, Fall left her club Bobigny, in Paris, to join Stade Bordelais and in her first season they reached the French play-offs for the first time in their history. [1] She has been described as France’s "lethal weapon", [2] and after overcoming an injury setback, by the Women's Six Nations Championship of 2022 she had established herself as a regular starter in the national side.
