Born in Didier Drogba's hometown of Abidjan in Ivory Coast. Kamo Bayi and Bazie Armand have gained their foothold in India. The brothers have represented a variety of clubs across India in the CFL, Second Division I-League, and the I-League and are one of the most dynamic foreigners to watch out in the country.

Kamo Bayi came to India after the 2015 Nepal earthquake left the Himalayan nation and their Nepal National League in shambles. Playing for George Telegraph in the CFL and Salgaocar in the Goa Pro League, Kamo Bayi got his big break when he helped Aizawl clinch the 2016-17 I-League.

Thereafter, he played for Mohun Bagan and Gokulam Kerala in the I-League before putting pen to paper with Mohammedan SC in the Second Division and Tollygunge Agragami in the Calcutta Football League.

Bazie followed his younger brothers' footsteps and came to India only in 2017. Playing for NBP Rainbow AC in the 2017 Calcutta Football League, East Bengal scouts took note of his talent and he represented them in the I-League.

However, Bazie couldn't prove his worth for the Kolkata giant in the I-League and Minerva Punjab roped him in the January transfer window and he subsequently lifted the trophy with them. He played for Mohammedan in the 2018 CFL and Real Kashmir in the 2018-19 I-League where they finished third in the points table.
