Career

Kameraj was born in Yugoslavia (now Kosovo[lower-alpha 1]). She moved to Hamburg with her family when she was a little child. Her career began at the HEBC Hamburg. She then moved to FTSV Altenwerder before joining the Hamburger SV in 2000. She won promotion to the Bundesliga in 2001 and 2003 and played the German Cup final in 2002 with the team.

In 2006 Kameraj signed for Turbine Potsdam, with which she also played the UEFA Women's Cup.[2] Two years later she returned to Hamburger, for which she played until the team withdrew from the Bundesliga for financial reasons in 2012. She then moved to Cloppenburg in the second tier.

She made several appearances for Germany on the junior level, playing the 2004 U-19 European Championship.[3]

Notes
  1. Kosovo is the subject of a territorial dispute between the Republic of Kosovo and the Republic of Serbia. The Republic of Kosovo unilaterally declared independence on 17 February 2008. Serbia continues to claim it as part of its own sovereign territory. The two governments began to normalise relations in 2013, as part of the 2013 Brussels Agreement. Kosovo is currently recognized as an independent state by 99 out of the 193 United Nations member states. In total, 113 UN member states recognized Kosovo at some point, of which 14 later withdrew their recognition.
