Bernard Kamungo (born 1 January 2002) is a Tanzanian-American professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Major League Soccer club FC Dallas.
Club career
Born in Kasulu, Kamungo and his family had lived in a refugee camp before being able to relocate to the United States and settle in Abilene, Texas.[1] After moving to the United States, Kamungo was a member of the Abilene High School soccer team.[1] Following his graduation from high school, Kamungo, alongside his brother Imani, began searching online for potential tryouts for Bernard. After seeing tryouts elsewhere with participation fees as high as $500, Imani found a tryout with North Texas SC, the reserve team for MLS side FC Dallas, for only a $90 fee.[1] During that January 2021 trial, Kamungo impressed North Texas head coach Eric Quill and was signed to a professional contract on 25 March.[2]
On 24 April 2021, Kamungo made his debut against Fort Lauderdale CF, coming on as a 71st-minute substitute for Hope Avayevu. Eight minutes after coming onto the pitch, Kamungo scored his first professional goal as the match would end in a 4–2 victory.[3]
On 30 August 2022, Kamungo signed a four-year contract with FC Dallas.[4]
On 15 April 2023, he scored his first goal against Real Salt Lake in the 88th minute, which turned out to be the winning goal in a 2–1 FC Dallas victory.
International career
Kamungo received his first call-up to the Tanzania national team in June 2023 for a 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualification match against Niger.[5]
On 8 October 2023, Kamungo was called up to the United States under-23 national team ahead of friendlies against Mexico and Japan.[6]
