Kamara’s debut for the Norwegian national team came in the 61st minute of the World Cup qualifying match against Slovenia on October 11, 2013. Just four days later, Kamara made his starting-debut and went 55 minutes against Iceland.
Kamara and the rest of the Black & Gold will return to MAPFRE Stadium to host Toronto FC for Leg 1 of the Eastern Conference Championship on November 21 for an 8 p.m. ET kickoff.
