Ahmadou Camara (born 1 August 2003) is a Guinean professional footballer who plays as a central midfielder for Botola club Raja CA.
Early life
Ahmadou Camara was born on 1 August 2003 in Conakry. After a period at Hafia FC, he left Guinea for Morocco in 2018 to enter a football scouting program. Once in the Kingdom, he joined Fath Union Sport's academy where he will play for a year before being spotted by the Raja Club Athletic in 2020.[1]
At the age of 17, he arrived at the Raja-Oasis Sports Complex and joined the U19 team. He quickly established himself as a starter and reached the U23 team under Bouchaib El Moubarki that was playing in the North West Group of the Amateurs 3 League, which is the fifth level of Moroccan football. For two successive seasons, the team was close to gain promotion but finished in second and third position respectively.[2][3]
Club career
Thanks to his performance and his consistency, Rachid Taoussi called up the young Guinean in June 2022 to join the first team's training. On 2 July 2022, he made his professional debut against Maghreb AS on the last leg of the Botola (0–0).[4][5]
On 18 March 2023, under Mondher Kebaier, he made his Champions League debut against Vipers SC in Tanzania (1–1), and played the quarter-finals against Al Ahly.[6][7]
On 14 April, he made his starting debut against Jeunesse Sportive Soualem in the league (0–0).[8][9] On June 9, the club announced the extension of Camara's contract for four additional seasons.[10]
International career
In 2022, he received his first call-up to the Guinean U20 squad and played three friendly games.
