Biography:
Carlos Idriss Kameni (born February 18, 1984 in Douala) is a Cameroonian football goalkeeper who currently plays for RCD Espanyol in La Liga.
Kameni was spotted when, aged 16, he became the youngest footballer to win an Olympic gold medal, in 2000.[1] This earned him a move to French club Le Havre AC but he was unable to break into the first team, and remained a reserve throughout his four year stay.
The goalkeeper spent a season on loan at AS Saint-Etienne but failed to gain any playing time. He almost moved to Premier League Wolverhampton Wanderers on a season long loan for 2003/04, but the deal collapsed after he was not granted a UK work permit.
He finally left France for Spanish side RCD Espanyol in July 2004 for $600,000 and has become their first choice goalkeeper. He won the 2006 Copa del Rey with the club.
Kameni was part of the Cameroon team at the 2004 African Nations Cup. He won the award for the best African Goalkeeper for 2006-07. He was the runner-up in the 2005-06 season.
