Kei Kamara: The MLS star targeting a World Cup in his 40s
MLS star Kei Kamara says he wants to emulate Africa football legend Roger Milla by playing at a World Cup at the age of 42.
The Los Angeles FC forward has just come out of international retirement with the Sierra Leone national team.
He represented the national team for 14 years before hanging up his boots in 2022, but is now back in the squad and wants to play in the World Cup in 2026.
Sierra Leone have never qualified for the World Cup and the 2026 tournament will be held in the USA, the country Kamara moved to as a refugee when he was 16.
In club football, Kamara has excelled in the MLS; he's fourth when it comes to all-time appearances and second for goals.
Kamara has been speaking to Sport Today's John Bennett.
