Ismaël Camara (born 11 November 2000) is a Guinean professional footballer who plays as a forward for French club Nîmes.
Camara came through the youth ranks of Angoulême, securing a move to Red Star in 2017.[1] [2] He made his first team debut for the club as a stoppage time substitute in the Championnat National game against Cholet on 11 August 2017.[3] He scored his first league goal for the club on 26 April 2019, in the Ligue 2 game against Metz.[4]
In October 2019, Camara was hospitalised after contracting Malaria whilst with the Guinea under-23 squad. He was initially put into an induced coma, but was released from hospital later the same month. His team-mates paid homage to him before their match against Avranches on 4 October, and dedicated the win to him.[5] [6]
Camara was born in Guinea, and moved to France at the age of 9.[7]
