Keeper Kamara to make Horoya debut

Keeper Mohamed Kamara is in line to make his club continental debut after being named in Horoya’s CAF Champions League Group stage squad.

Sierra Leone first-choice keeper Mohamed Kamara could make his CAF Champions League debut for Guinean side Horoya at the Stade General Lansana Conté against Tanzanian side Simba SC on Saturday.

Africa’s top Inter- Clubs Group stage kicked off on Friday, 10 February 2023.

Kamara, 23, was named in Horoya’s official squad list for the Group Stage phase of the TotalEnergies CAF Champions League published by CAF.

The Sierra Leonean sensation of the 2021 African Cup of Nation keeper, who signed a two-year deal with Horoya Athletic Club in May 2022, has featured in their six league games this season.

He was named Man of the Match in the Sierra Leone draw with Algeria on January 11 2022, at the Japoma Stadium, thanks to a brave display that saw him frustrate one of the tournament’s favourites.

He saved a vital spot-kick against the Ivory Coast that saw the Leone Stars rallied to a 2-2 draw at the Japoma Stadium.

Kamara helped East End Lions win the 2018/2019 season unbeaten, four points ahead of FC Kallon.

Simba SC have confirmed a 45-man delegation will travel by Ethiopian Airlines en-route to Guinea.
