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 seeing tryouts elsewhere with participation fees as high as $500, Imani found a tryout with North Texas SC, the reserve team for MLS side FC Dallas, for only a $90 fee.[1] During that January 2021 trial, Kamungo impressed North Texas head coach Eric Quill and was signed to a professional contract on 25 March.[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]
On 30 August 2022, Kamungo signed a four-year contract with FC Dallas.[4]
