Lassana Camará CvIH[2] (born 29 December 1991), commonly known as Saná, is a Bissau-Guinean footballer who plays as a central midfielder. He also holds Portuguese citizenship.

Club career

[edit]

Born in Bissau, Guinea Bissau, Saná spent four years in S.L. Benfica's academy, scoring two goals in 33 games in his last year as a junior. He started his professional career at Servette FC in Switzerland: having arrived injured from the 2010 UEFA European Under-19 Championship, he only returned to competition in January 2011, and played just 257 minutes in the second division campaign as the João Alves-led side – a former Benfica player and also his youth manager – attained Super League promotion.

Saná signed a three-year contract with Real Valladolid in Spain on 9 July 2011.[3] At the end of his first and only season the team promoted to La Liga after a two-year absence, but he only totalled 33 minutes of action and was released after several problems with the management and the board of directors.[4][5]

On 30 August 2014, after nearly two years without a club and a brief spell in Brazil, Saná joined S.C. Braga, being assigned to the reserves in the Segunda Liga.[6] He remained in that tier the following years, being rarely played at Académico de Viseu F.C. and Leixões SC.[7]

Saná moved to SCM Gloria Buzău of the Romanian Liga III in late January 2019.[8]

International career

[edit]

Saná won 51 caps for Portugal at youth level, including 13 for the under-20s. He helped them reach the final at the 2011 FIFA World Cup,[9] appearing in three matches.[10]

Saná switched allegiance to Guinea Bissau in 2014, making his debut on 2 August by playing 59 minutes in a 1–1 home draw against Botswana for the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.[11]
