Club career

AS Cherbourg Football
Edouard Mendy started his professional career at AS Cherbourg, who were then in the Championnat National, the third tier of the French football league system. Mendy stayed in Cherbourg until the summer of 2014.
Mendy helped Stade de Reims win the 2017–18 Ligue 2, as they were promoted to Ligue 1 for the 2018–19 season.
On 6 August 2019, Rennes announced they had signed Mendy from Stade de Reims for an undisclosed fee.

International career

Mendy was born to a Senegalese mother and a Bissau-Guinean father. In November 2016, he was called-up by Guinea-Bissau to play friendly matches against Portuguese clubs Belenenses and Estoril. At the time, his father was very ill and was about to pass away, leading Mendy to honour him playing for the Bissau-Guinean national team. Shortly after, he was shortlisted by Guinea-Bissau to play the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations for them, but he has ultimately rejected the call and pledged his future to Senegal.
Mendy made his debut for Senegal in a 1–0 win over Equatorial Guinea on 18 November 2018.
