His family transferred from Kosovo to Sweden in 1992, when he was only one year old.[3] After spending his youth years with Carlstad United BK, Istrefi was purchased by GAIS.[3]
Although Istrefi has a Swedish passport and there has been interest from Sweden, his desire is to play with the Albania national football team as he declared recently in an interview. His message to the Albania fans, Tifozat Kuq e Zi, was the Albanian slogan Nje Komb, Nje Kombetare (English: One Nation, one National team), which often appears in the stadiums, since Albania has many players from Kosovo.[3]
