Aboubakar Kamara

Kamara made his Ligue 1 debut for Monaco on 12 September 2014 against Olympique Lyonnais in a 2–1 away defeat. He replaced Yannick Carrasco after 84 minutes. In July 2015, Kamara signed a three-year contract with Belgian Pro League side Kortrijk, but returned to France only six months later, joining Championnat National side Amiens and helping the club to achieve back-to-back promotions up to Ligue 1. He scored the first goal of a dramatic 2–1 win against Stade de Reims in the last matchday, with Amiens clinching promotion after retaking the lead in the 6th minute of stoppage time. Kamara ended the season as the club's top goalscorer at the 2016–17 Ligue 2 with 10 goals.

Fulham

On 31 July 2017, Kamara signed for Fulham for an undisclosed fee on a four-year contract with an option for another 12 months. He chose to wear the number 47 so that his initials and number would match AK-47. On 23 September, Kamara scored his first goal for the club in a 1–1 draw against Middlesbrough, and three days later, he scored the opening goal in a 3–1 win over Nottingham Forest. On 31 October, Kamara was sent off for shoving Bailey Wright off the ball, as Fulham lost 2–0 to Bristol City. He later scored consecutive braces for Fulham in a 2–2 draw with Hull City and in a 4–1 win over Ipswich Town. On 20 January 2018, Kamara scored the final goal in a 6–0 win over Burton Albion. This turned out to be the last goal he scored for Fulham during the 2017–18 season, as he was used…

He made his debut for Mauritania on 26 March 2021 in a 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match against Morocco. After a 0–0 draw against Morocco in his first selection, he scored his first goal in his second selection against the Central African Republic, qualifying at the same time for the next Africa Cup of Nations. He competed in his first international competition at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations. In December 2023, he was selected from the list of 25 Mauritanian players selected by Amir Abdou to compete in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.

Born in France, Kamara represents Mauritania at international level. He is also of Senegalese descent. He is a Muslim and fasted for Ramadan even before starting the 2018 Championship play-off final for Fulham. On 16 January 2024, an error by uploading CAF team on X (formerly Twitter) accidentally revealed his nickname "AK.47", a reference to the initial number he wore at Fulham, which caused a lot of confusion and humorous responses from fans.
