The former Fulham man and his teammates faced the Burkinabes in their first game at the 34th AFCON in Cote d’Ivoire.
Ahead of the game, the Mauritania team broke the internet following their starting lineup with a player named ‘AK47’.
Another added: “His name is what?”
A third fan wrote: “I just hope AK47 doesn't decide to shoot during the game.”
While a fourth fan added: “Sharp shooter that number 27.”
Responding to the fan reaction, Fulham said on X: "You don't know ball if you don't know Abou Kamara."
The picture posted on the microblogging site, X, formerly Twitter by Actu Foot Afrique, showed both lineups but it was the Mauritania’s team news that made the rounds following Kamara’s bizarre nickname.
According to a Daily Star report, the 28-year-old had won number 47 (but wears number 27 for his country) for most of his career and due to his initials ‘A and K’ was nicknamed AK47.
