Drissa Camara (born 18 February 2002) is an Ivorian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Italian Serie A club Parma.[1]

Early life

Born in Ivory Coast, Camara was sent in Italy through the illegal immigration system built by an Italian talent scout who was later condemned to one year and ten months in prison.[2]

He still became part of the Parma academy, the club having not been found guilty of any charge in this matter.[2]

Career

Camara first came to light in the 2019 Torneo di Viareggio, scoring four goals in the final stages, including a double in the quarter-final victory against Fiorentina, putting his team in a 3–1 lead.[3][4]

Camara made his professional debut for Parma Calcio on 25 November 2020, in a Coppa Italia game against Cosenza Calcio, won 2–1 by the Parmigiani.[5]
