Bernard Kamungo (born 1 January 2002) is a Tanzanian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for USL League One club North Texas SC.
Club career[]
Born in Kasulu, Kamungo and his family had lived in a refugee camp before being able to relocate to the United States and settle in Abilene, Texas.[1] After moving to the United States, Kamungo was a member of the Abilene High School soccer team.[1] Following his graduation from high school, Kamungo, alongside his brother Imani, began searching online for potential tryouts for Bernard. After finding a tryout with a $500 participation fee, Imani found a tryout with only a $90 fee with North Texas SC, the reserve side of Major League Soccer club FC Dallas.[1] During the January 2021 trial, Kamungo impressed North Texas SC head coach Eric Quill and was signed to a professional contract on 25 March 2021.[2]
On 24 April 2021, Kamungo made his debut against Fort Lauderdale CF, coming on as a 71st minute substitute for Hope Avayevu. Eight minutes after coming onto the pitch, Kamungo scored his first professional goal as the match would end in a 4–2 victory.[3]
