Bira Dembélé (born 22 March 1988) is a French footballer.
Club career
Stade Rennais
Born in Villepinte, Seine-Saint-Denis, France, Dembélé worked his way through the Stade Rennais youth system, having previously played for various youth teams. While progressing through the club's reserve, he paired with Prince Oniangué in central defense.
Following the injuries of the club's first team players, Dembélé was promoted to the club's first team. After appearing as an unused substitute on five occasions, Dembélé finally made his Stade Rennais debut, starting the whole game, in a 1–1 draw against Metz on 26 January 2008. After appearing in a handful of first team appearances, the club was convinced with his performance, leading Dembélé to signing a three-year professional contract. For the next two seasons, he went on to make thirteen appearances in all competitions.
In summer of 2009, Dembélé was loaned to Boulogne, recently promoted to Ligue 1, to gather some professional experience. He made his debut for the club on 16 August 2009, coming on as a late substitute, in a 2–1 win over Grenoble. He then scored his first professional goal on 4 October 2009, in a 3–2 loss against Lille.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Bira Dembélé”, the useful work is to connect “french footballer” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 5, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2467915. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1988, 2008 and 2009.
Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
