Mohamed Mady Camara (born 28 February 1997) is a Guinean professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder for Greek club Olympiacos and the Guinea national team.

Club career

Ajaccio

Camara began his career with Guinean sides Kaloum and Santoba, before training with French Ligue 2 side AC Ajaccio in May 2015.[1][2] He impressed during his time on trial and signed a professional contract with the club in 2016.

On 20 May 2018, Camara scored a goal in the dying seconds of extra time to tie the game at 2–2 against Havre in the promotion playoffs semifinal. AC Ajaccio won in penalties 5–3, after Ghislain Gimbert scored the decisive penalty.[3]

Olympiacos

On 6 March 2018, he signed a five-year contract with Superleague giants Olympiacos ahead of the 2018–19 season for an undisclosed fee. The cost of the transfer was estimated to €2.5 million.[4][5] On 16 September 2018, he scored in a 2–1 home win game against Asteras Tripolis.[6]

On 17 February 2019, he scored in a 4–1 home win against champions AEK Athens.[7] On 7 April 2019, he again scored in a 5–0 away win against Panetolikos.[8] On 21 April 2019, Camara opened the scoring for Olympiacos in a 3–1 away win against Lamia, but PAOK's win the same day confirmed that Olympiacos would finish as runners-up behind PAOK.[9]

On 27 October 2020, the 22-year-old Guinean hit the jackpot third time lucky with a powerful shot from the edge of the penalty area which nestled in the top right corner of Panagiotis Tsintotas’ goal in a 2–0 home derby win game against rivals AEK Athens.[10] On 22 January 2020, he scored his only goal in a 1–0 away win against OFI.[11] On 15 June 2020, he scored a brace within two minutes and assisted a goal for Giorgos Masouras, in a 3–1 home victory over Aris for the Superleague championship play-offs.

International career

Camara made his senior debut for Guinea in a 1–0 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualification win over Central African Republic on 9 September 2018.[12]
