Club Career

Saint-Etienne

Born in Dakar, Dabo began his career with ASC Yeggo and he then joined French club Saint-Etienne's youth academy when he was 14 years old. In the summer of 2004 he was promoted to the club's senior team by manager Elie Baup. On 7 May 2005, Dabo made his debut for Saint-Etienne in a 2–0 win over Toulouse and made three appearances in total in his first season. Baup's successor Ivan Hasek put Dabo in the right-back position before newly manager Laurent Roussey switched him into the left-back role.

Dabo's second season proved to be the breakout year for the player as he received more playing time. On 21 September 2008, Dabo scored his first goal for Saint-Etienne against Paris Saint-Germain. The result was 1–0 in favor of Saint-Etienne. On 7 February 2009, Dabo scored an own goal against Caen. However, Saint-Etienne won the match 3–2 with goals from Bafetimbi Gomis and Ilan, who scored twice. In January 2009, club manager Alain Perrin told Le Progres that Dabo, who had one year left on his contract at the time, refused all proposals on an extension.

Sevilla

Following his contract expiration, Dabo signed a four-year contract with Spanish club Sevilla on a free transfer, making him the first signing for the club. He made his debut for Sevilla in the first leg of the team's Supercopa de Espana tie against Barcelona on 14 August 2010. Two weeks later, Dabo made his league debut for Sevilla in a 4–1 win over Levante. On 19 December 2010, he received his first red card of his career after he kicked goal-scorer Angel Di Maria in a 1–0 loss against Real Madrid.
