Mohamed Ali Camara (born 28 August 1997) is a Guinean professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Swiss Super League club Young Boys. Camara is nicknamed Piqué, named after his footballing idol Gerard Piqué.[2]

After a successful season, Camara joined BSC Young Boys on 6 July 2018, agreeing a contract until 2022.[6] He became club captain, and in November 2023 notably approached opponent Erling Haaland at half-time to ask for his shirt.[7][8]
