Mohamed Ali Camara

Mohamed Ali Camara of Maccabi Tel Aviv was born in Kérouané, Guinea on 28 August 1997 (age 29).

Mohamed Ali Camara, born on 28 August 1997 (age 28), is a Guinea international central defender now with Maccabi Tel Aviv. An imposing 6ft 3in (1.91m) presence, he is valued at around £2m by Transfermarkt.

His career has been shaped above all by Young Boys. Across seven seasons with the Swiss club, Camara made 133 league appearances and scored six league goals, becoming a regular part of their defensive structure rather than a passing squad name. His most productive league season came in 2018-2019, when he scored twice in 14 appearances.

Camara is now at Maccabi Tel Aviv, where in 2026-2027 he has made nine appearances across European qualifying and group-stage football: three in Europa League qualifiers, one in Conference League qualifiers and five in the Europa League. He has also been involved with Guinea this season, making two appearances in African World Cup qualifying.

It is a career with one clear centre of gravity: a long, substantial spell at Young Boys, followed by a move into Israeli football with Maccabi Tel Aviv and continued international involvement with Guinea.
