Jhasmani Campos played youth football in a tournament for Bolivia and was spotted by a scout who took him to Port Alegre but after six months he went back to Bolivia.
He began his career at an early age with the well known and prestigious Ramon Tahuichi Aguilera Academy. While playing at a youth football tournament in Uruguay with the academy in 2005, he was spotted by a talent scout from Brazilian club Gremio, who brought him to Porto Alegre to join the youth team later that year. After six months of negotiations, Gremio didn't come to a mutual agreement with Tahuichi to acquire Campos, and he returned to Bolivia in 2006.
