Playing career

Čampara started out at Iskra Bugojno, collecting 51 appearances and scoring one goal in the Yugoslav Second League between 1989 and 1991. He subsequently joined Yugoslav First League club Velež Mostar, making eight appearances in the competition's final 1991–92 season.

With the breakup of Yugoslavia, Čampara relocated to Belgrade and started playing for Rad in the First League of FR Yugoslavia. He spent three seasons with the club, amassing 91 matches and netting 10 goals in the top flight.

In 1995, Čampara moved abroad to Spain and signed with Segunda División club Lleida. He played 35 league games and scored five times in two seasons. In 1997, Čampara signed with Belgian side Royal Antwerp, spending the next seven years with the club.

Post-playing career

In 2008, Čampara became sporting director of his former club Rad. He left the position in March 2011.[1] In July of that year, Čampara took over the same role at Hajduk Kula, but left the club less than three months later after the dismissal of manager Nebojša Vignjević.[2] He subsequently served as assistant manager to Vignjević at Rad (October 2011 to February 2012) and Újpest (October 2013 to December 2016). In June 2017, Čampara returned to Rad as sporting director.[3] He left the position in November 2018.[4]
