Musa Dibaga Nimaga (born 27 April 2000) is a Gambian footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for NIFL Premiership side Crusaders. [1] [2]
Dibaga started his career playing at Murieston Amateurs (second choice) before moving on to Robres of the Spanish Tercera Federación, being promoted to the first team and making 20 appearances over the 2020–21 season. In July 2021, Dibaga moved to Scotland and joined East of Scotland Premier Division side, Whitehill Welfare for a season before leaving them following their relegation to the First Division. In July 2022, Dibaga joined Lowland League side, Bo'ness United on a two-year deal. In his first season, Dibaga picked up a Lowland League Cup runners up medal, as Bo'ness held East Kilbride to a 2–2 draw before losing on penalties. [3]
In August 2024, Dibaga got his first move into professional football, joining recently relegated Inverness Caledonian Thistle in Scottish League One, [4] before making his professional debut a fortnight later in a 1–1 home draw against Montrose. [5] After being a big part in keeping the Caley Jags in League One amidst the club suffering through administration, Dibaga departed Inverness in 2025 "with a heavy heart" after not being able to agree on terms for a new contract due to the club's situation. [6]
On 11 March 2025, Dibaga was named in the provisional 33 man squad for The Gambia's 2026 World Cup Qualifying campaign ahead of their matches against Kenya and Ivory Coast, [7] [8] before being named in the final 24 man squad.
