Musa Noah Kamara (born 6 August 2000) is a Sierra Leonean footballer who plays as a striker for Bo Rangers and the Sierra Leone national team.

Club career

[edit]

Kamara was born in Tombo.[1] After playing for AIK Freetong in 2018, he was the top scorer of the 2019 Sierra Leone National Premier League with 15 goals for champions East End Lions.[1][2] He joined Swedish club Trelleborgs FF on a three-and-a-half-year deal in August 2019, but cancelled his contract after a week, citing the cold weather in Sweden.[2] He retracted that statement the following day however, and insisted that he returned to Sierra Leone to play for the national team in the upcoming World Cup qualification fixtures.[3] [1] He transferred to Bo Rangers in April 2021.[4]

Kamara won the highest goal scorer at the Sierra Leone Premier League (SLPL) since it was founded in 1994 with 12 goals by Sierra Leonean football legend Mohamed Kallon.[5]

International career

[edit]

Having previously represented Sierra Leone at under-20 level, Kamara made his senior debut for Sierra Leone against Liberia on 26 July 2018.[6] He represented Sierra Leone at the 2019 WAFU Cup of Nations.[7] He did not travel to Kono to play a friendly match in November 2019 after suffering a bereavement, but received a two match international ban from the Sierra Leone Football Association after it was discovered he played a community match in Freetown during this period.[7]

Kamara was called up to Sierra Leone's squad for the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations tournament, which began in January 2022.[8] He scored his first international goal with a "magnificent left-footed strike" in a 2–2 draw with Ivory Coast in Sierra Leone's second group match on 16 January 2022.[1][9] He appeared in their third group match as they were eliminated from the competition after a 1–0 defeat to Equatorial Guinea.[10]
