Warren Håkon Christofer Kamanzi (born 11 November 2000) is a Norwegian professional footballer who plays as a right-back for Ligue 1 club Toulouse.

Club career

[edit]

Rosenborg

[edit]

Kamanzi came to Rosenborg's academy from Strindheim in 2015.[2] He also played futsal for Vegakameratene during the 2019–20 season.[3]

In 2020 he signed a contract to become a part of the first team squad.[2] In 2021, he was loaned out to Ranheim in the Norwegian First Division for the entire season.[4]

Tromsø

[edit]

At the start of 2022, Kamanzi signed for Tromsø.[5] In the last match of 2022 Eliteserien, pundits discussed whether Kamanzi had performed the "assist of the year", following a rabona assist against Aalesund.[6][7]

Toulouse

[edit]

On 2 January 2023, Kamanzi signed for Ligue 1 club Toulouse in a transfer worth €600,000. He signed a contract until 2026.[1]

International career

[edit]

In the autumn of 2022, Kamanzi was called up to Rwanda's national team. For the time being, Kamanzi declined the call-up, hoping to instead be called up to the Norwegian under-21 team some time before the 2023 UEFA European Under-21 Championship.[8] His first under-21 callup then came on 18 September 2022.[9] Kamanzi featured in a victory over Switzerland at Marbella, before drawing 1–1 away in France in November 2022.[3]
