The story of Kei Kamara remains a source of inspiration. At 41 years old, the legendary Sierra Leone striker gave an interview to FIFA, where he recalled his stunning goal against Guinea-Bissau, reflected on the secrets of his incredible longevity, and shared his ultimate dream: to equal the legacy of his idol, Roger Milla.
Kamara described his wonder goal against Guinea-Bissau as a magical moment, proof that his passion for football is still alive. At an age when most players have retired, he continues to defy expectations, showing that discipline, determination, and love for the game can keep a player at the highest level. His sharpness in front of goal makes him a constant threat, regardless of age.
When asked about his longevity, Kamara emphasized lifestyle discipline, mental strength, and the extra work beyond the pitch. These elements, he believes, keep him competitive against much younger opponents. His resilience echoes the career of Roger Milla, who stunned the world in 1990 at age 38 and scored again in the 1994 World Cup at 42.
Kamara ended the interview by saying that he hopes to inspire the next African generation. By following in the footsteps of Milla—the eternal Cameroonian legend—he dreams of securing his place in football history as a symbol of passion and longevity.
