Adama Mohamed Camara (born 18 October 1996) is a French professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Ligue 1 club Paris FC.

Career

[edit]

Camara began playing football in his hometown of Neuilly-sur-Marne, before playing successively for Gournay-sur-Marne, USM Gagny, and FC Montfermeil.[1] In 2018, he moved to the United States to join Georgia Revolution in the National Premier Soccer League; however, he would only stay there for three months, returning to Montfermeil.[2] In 2019, Camara joined newly-promoted Championnat National 3 club Noisy-le-Grand FC, having previously played at highest in the seventh-tier Régional 2.[2] In 2020, with Noisy-le-Grand suffering relegation, Camara joined fellow National 3 club Racing Club de France after the club's assistant coach demonstrated an interest in signing him.[2]

On 9 June 2023, at the age of 26, Camara signed for Ligue 2 club Paris FC on a contract until June 2025,[1][3] his first professional contract.[4][5] He made his debut in a 2–0 defeat to Pau on 19 August 2023.[6]

Personal life

[edit]

Born in France, Camara is of Malian descent.[7][2]

Until the age of 25, Camara worked jobs outside of football to make a living. He worked successively at Pizza Hut, as a mailman for Montfermeil, as a bus driver in Seine-et-Marne, and as a delivery driver for the Seine-Saint-Denis departmental council.[2]
