Dashmir Elezi (Template:Lang-mk; born 21 November 2004) is a Macedonian Albanian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Shkëndija.[2]

Club career

Born in Tetovo, North Macedonia, Elezi joined Shkëndija at youth level. He was promoted to the first team squad in November 2020,[3] and became the youngest goal-scorer in the top flight of Macedonian football when he scored on his debut in a 1–1 draw against Shkupi, a day after his sixteenth birthday.[4][5]

He signed his first professional contract in June 2021.[6] In October of the same year, he was named by English newspaper The Guardian as one of the best players born in 2004 worldwide.[7]

In January 2022, a proposed transfer to Turkish side Gaziantep fell through.[8] However, a year later, in January 2023, Elezi moved to Georgia to join Erovnuli Liga side Torpedo Kutaisi, signing a three-year contract.[9][10][11] However 14 days later, Shkëndija announced that Elezi had went back to North Macedonia due to personal problems and continue playing for Shkëndija.[12]

International career

Elezi has represented North Macedonia at youth international level.[1]

Personal life

Elezi's father, Skender, died in a car accident near Plovdiv, Bulgaria in December 2022.[13]
