Born in Dakar, Fall joined S.L. Benfica's youth setup in October 2007, after a successful trial, from local US Gorée. On 9 March of the following year he was selected on the bench for the Primeira Liga match against União de Leiria, but remained unused in the 2–2 home draw.

In August 2008 Fall moved to La Vitréenne FC in France's CFA. After appearing regularly for the side he signed a two-year deal with Servette FC on 7 July 2011.[http://www.wiwsport.com/View/detailNews.php?idN=13 Issaga Diallo et Abdoulaye Fall au Servette FC (Issaga Diallo and Abdoulaye Fall to Servette FC)] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141031165532/http://www.wiwsport.com/View/detailNews.php?idN=13 |date=2014-10-31 }}; WIW Sport, 7 July 2011 {{in lang|fr}} After failing to gain a work permit, he moved to Spain and joined CD Badajoz in Segunda División B.[http://www.hoy.es/20110822/deportes/segunda-b/badajoz-completa-plantilla-diego-201108221856.html El Badajoz completa su plantilla con Diego Torres y Abdoulaye Fall (Badajoz completes roster with Diego Torres and Abdoulaye Fall)]; Hoy, 22 August 2011 {{in lang|es}}
