Ismael Petcho Camara (born 22 December 2006) is an 18‑year‑old Ivorian professional footballer. He plays as a right winger for Norwegian top‑flight club FK Haugesund.
Ismael Petcho Camara began playing football in Côte d’Ivoire, where he developed at the academy of San Pedro FC, a well-regarded Ivorian club known for producing young talent.
He played youth football there before being scouted and brought to FK Haugesund in Norway. Due to age restrictions, he trained with Haugesund starting in 2023 but officially signed and joined the senior team only after turning 18 in December 2024.
So his football journey began in San Pedro, Côte d’Ivoire, before moving to Europe to further his professional career.
At 18, Camara already shows high-impact traits:
▪︎Elite dribbling capability – top-tier in the league
▪︎Strong defensive work-rate for his age
▪︎Gradual creative impact with room to improve contributions in key passes, goals, and assists
Although still in his developmental phase—without goals or assists—his ability to beat defenders and willingness to defend mean he’s laying a solid foundation for future growth.
Final Verdict:
He’s a highly promising young talent, especially in taking on defenders and contributing defensively. As he gets more minutes and experience, his creative outputs and final-third end product should follow.
