Clouds of players, including foreign players, take turns in the regional championships. But when reinforcements come from the United States, it always seems a little exotic. However, the arrival of Damani Camara came to the fore for Police nad Metuji. He scored over forty goals in the season and was scouted by Varnsdorf in the second division as a reinforcement!
He is a classic striker who comes from Guinea, where he started playing football. He then headed to the United States, where he played in the junior competition in the colors of FC Columbus. From there he went to try his luck in Europe, to Turkspor Augsburg, but he only lasted half a year there and then returned overseas.
Now the 28-year-old fighter went through another American club, he returned to Columbus, where in 2022 he became the best scorer in the fourth league there. In the end, however, he decided to head to Europe again, and last August he docked in Polici nad Metují, where he shot himself to death. His final score? 46 notches in 32 matches! Everything was embellished by the team’s triumph in the competition, so promotion to the division followed. It was simply a dream season.
“After the first practice, it was clear that a diamond of unprecedented purity had arrived from Ohio,” writes the club in a farewell post on Instagram. “Together with the team and our fantastic fans, he led Spartak to the top of the regional championship. A success that will forever be written in golden letters in the history of our club!”
Camara has now been given a chance to prove himself in pre-season with second division side Varnsdorf in desperate need of reinforcements. Eight-goal Denny Samko is leaving, Matyáš Vojta scored a goal less, and Jakub Hodek will also be missing. Vojtěch Stránský, Dominik Gembický, Tomáš Polyák and Andrij Yuzvak are also leaving the club. The wave of departures is a logical consequence of the fact that Varnsdorf engages a number of players on loan and they logically return to their home clubs after the season. So it would be very useful for the club if Camara fully established himself and continued the cannonades.
