Amady Camara (born 28 May 2005) is a Malian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Austrian Bundesliga club Sturm Graz and the Mali national team.

Club career

Camara was born in Mali, in the capital city of Bamako. He began playing football for FC Diarra until he was 17, joining Austrian Bundesliga club Sturm Graz in summer 2023.[3]

He began playing for the reserve team, making his debut for the team in the second tier, in a game against SKN St. Pölten, coming on as a substitute in a 4–1 loss.[4] He scored his first professional goal in a 2–2 draw against Floridsdorfer AC, scoring an 83rd-minute equaliser.[5] During that season, Camara scored 6 goals in 13 games, including a brace against SV Lafnitz in a 5–2 loss.[6]

Camara made his first-team and Austrian Bundesliga debut against Austria Klagenfurt in November 2023, coming on as a substitute in the 65th minute, and thereby became the 4000th player to make an appearance in the Austrian Bundesliga.[3] He went on to make 17 appearances for the first team that season, scoring one goal against Austria Klagenfurt.[7] In February 2024, he scored his first goal for the club, in a 4–1 win against Slovan Bratislava in the first leg of the UEFA Conference League play-offs.[8][9]

International career

[edit]

Camara made his debut for the Mali national team on 6 September 2024 in a Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Mozambique at the Stade du 26 Mars.[10]
