Amara Diouf scored a brace in the second half against Argentina in Senegal's opening match in the FIFA U-17 World Cup 2023. The Senegalese U-17 team started their campaign with a 2-1 win over the South American nation.

Amara Diouf joined the Génération Foot Academy in 2017, after impressing in the Danone Nations Cup. In 2023, he was a standout in the Mohammed VI under-19s tournament in Morocco, where Génération Foot won the competition, after eliminating the likes of Real Madrid. It was reported that Diouf will join FC Metz when he comes of age, following the same path as his compatriot Sadio Mané.

In August 2023, Diouf was called up to the senior squad to face Rwanda in the Africa Cup of Nations Qualifiers and a friendly against Algeria. On 9 September, he made his debut in a 1–1 draw against Rwanda, to be his country's youngest debutant, aged 15 years and 94 days.
