Club career
Summarize
Perspective
On 29 March 2019, Camara signed his first professional contract with Lille in France, with the deal lasting for five years.[1] He made his professional debut in a Coupe de France match against Dijon on 10 February 2021, and scored in the 15th minute of the game.[2]
On 13 July 2021, he joined Olympiacos. The 20-year-old joined the Greek giants from Lille in the summer, having only played once for the reigning Ligue 1 champions.[3] The Guinea international has quickly forced himself into Pedro Martins' plans. On 6 August 2021, he scored his first goal with the club against Ludogorets Razgrad, as a late substitute, helping Olympiacos to avoid overall defeat at Karaiskaki Stadium in the first match of the third qualifying round of 2021–22 UEFA Champions League qualifying phase and play-off round.[4]
On 17 October 2021, he opened the score in a 2–1 away win against PAS Giannina[5] and a week later he opened the score in a 2−1 home derby game against rivals PAOK, being the main protagonist of the match.[6] On 21 November, he opened the scoring in a triumphant 3−2 away win against rivals AEK.[7] On 6 February 2022, he opened the score in a 3–0 away win against Ionikos.[8]
In July 2024, Camara signed a contract with Bulgarian team Ludogorets Razgrad.[9]
International career
A youth international for Guinea, Camara represented the Guinea U20s for the 2019 Africa U-20 Cup of Nations qualification matches.[citation needed] He made his senior debut for Guinea in a 1–0 friendly loss to the Comoros on 12 October 2019.[10] On 21 December 2021, he was called up for the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations.
In June 2023, he was included in the final squad of the Guinean under-23 national team for the 2023 U-23 Africa Cup of Nations, hosted in Morocco,[11] where the Syli finished in fourth place.[12][13] A year later, his club, Olympiacos, denied him permission to compete in the 2024 Summer Olympics.[14]
