Ferhan Hasani (Macedonian: Ферхан Хасани; born 18 June 1990), nicknamed Buba, is a Macedonian professional footballer.

He made his full international debut on 22 December 2010 against China in a friendly game.[1] He represented the nation at UEFA Euro 2020, their first major tournament.

## Personal life

[edit]

Hasani was born in Tetovo, North Macedonia to an ethnic Albanian family. As a child, Hasani grew up with the nickname Buba (lit. 'bug' or 'beetle') because he was quicker on the ball than his peers.[2] Hasani joined Shkëndija at the age of 8.[2]

## Club career

[edit]

### Shkëndija

[edit]

When Shkëndija were in the Macedonian Second League, Hasani got his chance to play for the senior squad when he was 17 years old. In the second of his two seasons with the senior squad, Hasani scored 13 goals in 27 matches, establishing himself as best striker in the team and an important contributor to Shkëndija's championship 2010–11 season, earning Shkëndija promotion to the Macedonian First League.[2] He became a fan favourite by scoring a goal from a free kick against rivals FK Vardar[2] in the final game of the season. During the half time of the game against Metalurg, Hasani was presented as the best player of the season.[2]

There was some speculation that Croatian club Hajduk Split and German club VfL Wolfsburg,[3] were interested in signing the striker, as well as Dutch side FC Groningen and Gent of Belgium. However, Hasani remained at Shkendija for the first half of the new season. The season started well until he suffered an injury that kept him out of the squad until the latter half of the year. Hasani contributed five goals and eight assists for his club that season before leaving in the winter break.[4]

### VfL Wolfsburg

[edit]

On 16 December 2011, Hasani agreed to a three-year deal with Wolfsburg and joined the German club immediately after the New Year.[4][5][6] Wolfsburg manager, Felix Magath, stated that new acquisitions Hasani and Slobodan Medojević were "two young players who have played exceptionally well in their respective leagues and are talents from whose we expect to be great players".[7]

On 30 September 2012, Hasani made his debut for Wolfsburg, coming on in the 45th minute against Mainz 05.

During the 2012–13 season's winter transfer period, Hasani received interest from Croatian club Dinamo Zagreb. It was reported that Wolfsburg and Dinamo have agreed terms and all that remains is a medical test on 25 January.[8][9] Dinamo coach Kruno Jurčić stated "He is a winger who can play on both sides and he's the kind of player we need. I've seen him when I was working for Croatia national team and was scouting Macedonia so when an opportunity came to sign him we didn't hesitate".[9] But the transfer failed.

With the Wolfsburg squad being reduced and not receiving much match time, Hasani planned to leave in the summer, with possible interests from Dynamo Dresden and Brøndby.[10]

### Brøndby IF

[edit]

#### 2013–14 season

[edit]

On 2 September 2013, Hasani decided to join Brøndby IF. According to Danish media the transfer fee was €260K.

#### 2014–15 season

[edit]

After a successful pre-season, in which he scored against Liverpool,[13] Hasani succumbed to injury missing out on the beginning of the season.

On 7 December, Hasani returned and Brøndby defeated Silkeborg IF 1–0. Hasani scored the goal on what was the 50th anniversary of Brøndby.[citation needed] Ferhan had a successful season with Brøndby reaching third in the Superliga.

### Return to Shkëndija

[edit]

In the 2017–18 season, Ferhan led Shkëndija to winning the league and cup. He scored 22 goals in 27 matches and made 15 assists. With his contract over and achieve all trophies in the league, it is suspected that Ferhan will leave, with interest from Galatasaray.[14]

On 2 June 2023, Hassani joined Danish 1st Division side FC Helsingør on a two-year contract[18] After the club was relegated to the 2024-25 Danish 2nd Division, it was announced in August 2024 that Hasani had left the club.[19]

## International career

[edit]

Hasani made his full international debut on 22 December 2010 against China in a friendly match.[20] At the end of the football season, Hasani was called up to the Macedonian squad for the upcoming fixture with Ireland for the UEFA Euro 2012 qualifiers. He came on as a substitute in the tenth minute and Macedonia went on to lose 0–2 to Ireland.[21] With Macedonia effectively out of the qualifications of the UEFA Euro 2012, Hasani was called to play for the Under-21s team against Serbia for the UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship qualifiers. Hasani was crucial as he scored for Macedonia, resulting in a 1–1 draw.[22]
