Club
Korka Fall joined Spanish side Zaragoza CFF from Senegalese team Dorades Mbour in April 2010, becoming the first African player to play in the Primera División, the highest level of women's football in Spain.[2] She was signed to a three-year contract, with the move seen as strengthening the squad ready for the Copa de la Reina de Fútbol competition.[3]
By 2012, she had moved to play for Senegalese side Aigles de la Médina.[4] She was nominated in 2013 for African Women's Footballer of the year at the Africa Top Sports Awards, the only Senegalese player to be included in the category.[5] By 2014, Fall was playing for Dorades Mbour once again, in the Senegalese second division. She scored a penalty to win the final match of the season against Teddungal de Vélingara, giving the second division title to Mbour.[6]
International
Fall plays for the Senegal women's national football team, including at the 2012 African Women's Championship.[7] She continued to play for the team, recently during the 2016 Africa Women Cup of Nations qualification when she was brought on as a substitute for Fanta Sy against Guinea.[8]
