Arlind Ajeti (Albanian pronunciation: [ˈaɾlind aˈjeti]; born 25 September 1993)[1] is a professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Süper Lig club Bodrum and the Albania national team.
He began his career in the youth teams of Concordia Basel and Basel, making his senior debut with Basel's first team in 2011. During his time at Basel, he won four consecutive Swiss Super League titles in the 2011–12, 2012–13, 2013–14, and 2014–15 seasons, as well as the Swiss Cup in 2011–12, finishing as runner-up in the following three editions. He also lifted the Uhren Cup in 2013 and made his debut in the 2015–16 UEFA Champions League. Ajeti later played for clubs across Italy, Denmark, Romania, and Turkey, winning the Danish 1st Division with Vejle in 2019–20 to earn promotion to the Danish Superliga and the Coppa Italia Serie C with Padova in 2021–22.[2]
Born in Switzerland, he represented Switzerland at youth level but chose to switch allegiance to Albania in 2014, debuting and earning over 35 caps while starting in Albania's first-ever UEFA European Championship 2016 and 2024 campaigns.[3][4][5] Notably, he was named Man of the Match in Albania's historic 1–0 victory over Romania during the 2016 tournament.[6]
Early life
Ajeti was born in Basel, Switzerland, to Albanian parents originally from Podujevo, Kosovo.[7] He is the eldest son of Afrim and Sylbije Ajeti,[8] who had fled Kosovo years earlier due to the war in Kosovo; his father, a former amateur goalkeeper,[9] in the former Yugoslavia, worked as a construction laborer, while his mother worked as a cleaner, and the family lived near Claraplatz in the Kleinbasel district.[10] His younger brothers are twins and professional footballers, Albian, who plays for Basel and has represented the Switzerland national team,[11] and Adonis, who plays for Rapperswil-Jona.[12][8]
Ajeti's father Afrim was an inspiration for Arlind to start playing football; at the age of eight, he began playing regularly with his father before starting his youth career with Concordia Basel at the age of ten.[13] In 2004, he joined the Basel youth system,[8] representing the under-16, under-18, and under-21 teams, playing for the latter from the 2010–11 until the 2014–15 season in the 1. Liga Promotion, making 67 appearances and scoring 4 goals.[2]
Club career
Basel
On 2 January 2011, he signed his first professional contract with Basel on a 2+1⁄2-year deal and was called up to the first team ahead of the 2011–12 season in the Swiss Super League.[14] He was also eligible for the newly formed Basel under-19 team in the 2011–12 NextGen series, appearing in the first game against Tottenham Hotspur on 17 August 2011.[15]
He made his first-team debut in the Swiss Super League as a substitute on 28 August 2011, in a 2–1 home win against Thun.[16] At the end of the 2011–12 season he won the Double, claiming both the 2011–12 Swiss Super League[17] and the Swiss Cup.[18] He made only one league appearance and two Swiss Cup appearances for the first team, playing regularly with the U21 squad.[2]
In the 2012–13 Swiss Super League, Ajeti made 4 appearances while mainly playing for the under-21 side, which finished second in the third tier but did not gain promotion to the Swiss Challenge League.[2] At the end of the season, he won the Swiss Championship title[19] for the second consecutive season and was Swiss Cup runner-up.[20] He made his European debut on 22 November 2012 in the 2012–13 UEFA Europa League Group G match against Sporting Lisboa, coming on as a substitute in the final minute of a 3–0 win.[21]
During the 2013–14 season, Ajeti featured more regularly in the 2013–14 Swiss Super League, making 19 appearances, starting 14 matches and completing the full 90 minutes in each, while appearing as a substitute in a further five of the club’s 36 league fixtures.[22] On 5 October 2013, Ajeti scored his first league goal in a 2–1 away win against Lausanne-Sport.[23] At the end of the season, Ajeti won his third league championship with Basel.[24] He also made one appearance in the quarter-final of the 2013–14 Swiss Cup, as Basel went on to reach the final but were beaten 2–0 after extra time by Zürich.[25][26] In European competition, Ajeti was ever-present in the 2013–14 UEFA Champions League qualifying, playing in all third-round and play-off matches as Basel recorded three wins and one draw to reach the group stage,[27] made four substitute appearances in the 2013–14 UEFA Champions League group stage as the club finished third and dropped into the 2013–14 UEFA Europa League knockout phase,[28] and then played the full 90 minutes in both legs of the round of 32 against Maccabi Haifa and the first leg of the round of 16 against Red Bull Salzburg, with Basel conceding no goals in those three matches, before providing one assist in the second leg against Salzburg in a 2–1 win that secured qualification for the quarter-finals.[29]
In the 2014–15 season, Ajeti made limited first-team appearances due to managerial changes.[30] He featured in the opening round of the 2014–15 Swiss Super League and mainly played for the Basel U-21 side in the 1. Liga Promotion, appearing in numerous matches, before being called up again to the first team shortly before the end of the season.[2][31] Basel won the championship for the sixth consecutive season.[32] Ajeti also made one appearance in the 2014–15 Swiss Cup, playing 32 minutes in the quarter-final in a 6–1 away win against Münsingen on 4 March 2015.[33] He made a single appearance in the 2014–15 UEFA Champions League group stage, playing 16 minutes in the Group B match against Ludogorets on 22 October 2014.[34] Basel played a total of 65 matches (36 Swiss League fixtures, 6 Swiss Cup, 8 Champions League, and 15 test matches). Under trainer Paulo Sousa, Ajeti made 17 appearances: 3 in the League, 2 in the Cup, 1 in the Champions League, and 11 in test matches.[35]
In summer 2015, Ajeti left Basel after his contract expired, as the club decided not to renew his deal amid strong competition in defence and limited first-team opportunities.[36] He made over 50 official appearances for Basel across all competitions, scoring once.[37][3]
Frosinone
On 24 November 2015, after six months as a free agent following the expiration of his contract with Basel, Ajeti signed a contract until the end of the season with newly promoted Serie A side Frosinone.[38][39] He was assigned the squad number 93, corresponding to his year of birth, and was presented to the media two days later.[40]
He received his first call-up on 6 December 2015 for the match against Chievo Verona at the Stadio Matusa, remaining an unused substitute.[41] He made his debut on 6 January 2016 against Sassuolo, starting the match and scoring an own goal in the 22nd minute before later netting Frosinone's second goal in an eventual 2–2 draw.[42]
During the second half of the 2015–16 season, Ajeti established himself in the starting line-up, making 13 full 90-minute appearances and three additional appearances as a second-half substitute.[43] At the end of the season, Frosinone were relegated to Serie B.[44] His contract with Frosinone ended on 30 June, as his renewal was only valid if the club had remained in Serie A.[45]
Torino
On 7 July 2016, Torino completed the signing of Ajeti on a free transfer.[46][47][48] He signed a three-year contract, with the option to extend for a further two years; his salary was reported to be €500,000 per season.[49]
Ajeti missed the start of the 2016–17 Serie A season after suffering a double injury to his right calf in August, which kept him out of action for around two months.[50] On 17 October 2016, he returned to the matchday squad, remaining an unused substitute in Torino's 4–1 away win against Palermo.[51] He made his debut on 30 November 2016 in a 4–0 win over Pisa in the 2016–17 Coppa Italia, playing the full 120 minutes.[52] Ajeti decided to remain at Torino during the winter transfer window, despite transfer speculation, opting to compete for a place in the starting lineup.[53] Ajeti made his Serie A debut for Torino on 5 February 2017 against Empoli, starting and completing the full 90-minutes in a 1–1 draw.[54] A week later he scored his first goal against Pescara in the 9th minute to make it 2–0; he later conceded an own goal, with Torino winning the match 5–3.[55] Throughout the season, under head coach Siniša Mihajlović, Ajeti struggled to secure a regular starting position, partly due to injury setbacks and competition in defence, making only limited appearances, with some reports describing his spell at the club as below expectations and attributing his reduced playing time to tactical preferences and squad hierarchy.[56][57]
Loan to Crotone
On 1 August 2017, Ajeti was loaned to fellow Serie A team Crotone until the end of the 2017–18 season, with an option to buy.[58]
Ajeti made his debut on 27 August 2017 in the matchday 2 against Hellas Verona, playing the full 90 minutes in a goalless draw.[59] Ajeti established himself as a regular starter, often playing the full 90 minutes, before experiencing a more reduced role in the latter part of the season.[60] On 16 September 2017, Ajeti played 66 minutes against Inter, during which Inter did not score any goals; he was substituted due to injury before the team conceded twice late in the game.[61] On 24 September 2017, Ajeti started in Crotone's 2–0 away win in matchday 6 against Benevento, the club's first league victory of the season;[62] he was praised for his defensive performance in the match, being described as nearly unstoppable for opposing attackers and included in the Serie A Team of the Week for the third time in six weeks.[63] On 17 December 2017, he provided an assist for Ante Budimir in a 1–0 win against Chievo.[64][65] In December 2017, Italian outlets reported that Ajeti was enjoying a strong run of form at Crotone, describing him as increasingly influential in defence and noting that his market value had risen to an estimated €3 million.[66] In March 2018, Albanian media reported that, according to statistical analyses published in Italy, Ajeti was rated as the highest-performing defender in Serie A for home matches during the season, with an average match rating of 6.58, ahead of several established defenders in the league.[67]
At the end of the season, Crotone were relegated and did not exercise the option to purchase his contract.[68]
On 20 August 2018, Ajeti became a free agent after terminating his contract with Torino, which had been set to run until 2019.[69]
Grasshoppers
On 13 September 2018, Ajeti officially become a Grasshoppers player by signing an initial one-year contract with an option to extend for a further two years, thus returning to Switzerland after three years.[70]
Vejle BK
On 18 February 2020, Danish 1st Division club Vejle Boldklub confirmed that they had signed Ajeti.[71] The club did not reveal how long Ajeti had signed for.
Padova
On 16 November 2021, he signed with Padova in Serie C for one season with an option to extend for another year.[72]
Pordenone
On 12 July 2022, Ajeti joined Pordenone on a two-year deal.[73]
Bodrum
On 10 September 2024, Ajeti was transferred to Bodrum in the TFF 1. Lig.[74]
On 8 February 2026, he returned in play after serving a two-match suspension, scoring twice in an away match against Adana Demirspor and bringing his goal tally for the season to three.[75]
International career
Switzerland
Ajeti made his debut for the Switzerland U17 team in the game against Sweden on 4 March 2010. He made his debut for the Switzerland U-18 team on 15 September 2010 in the 2–2 draw with the Belgium U18. During the qualifications to the 2011 UEFA European Under-19 Football Championship Ajeti played his first game for the Switzerland U19 as substitute in the game Group 2 game against England on 2 June 2011.
On 6 February 2013 Ajeti made his debut for the Swiss U21 team in the El Madrigal stadium in Villarreal, Spain. He played the entire game, but it ended in a 1–0 defeat against the Slovakian U21 team. He played his final game for the Swiss youth teams on 24 September 2014. This was in the 2–0 defeat against the Ukraine U21 team during the qualification matches to the 2015 UEFA European Under-21 Championship.
Albania
The abandoned match between Serbia and Albania played on 14 October 2014 where Albanian players showed bravery by defending their national symbol against the permanent political enemies Serbia in their home, motivated many footballers of Albanian descent to express their desire to play for Albania national team and Ajeti was the first one to do so by citing that he wants to play for the senior team of Albania.[76]
He made his debut for Albania on 14 November 2014 in the "Group I centralised" friendly match against the Euro 2016 hosts, France,[77] coming on as a substitute in the 69th minute in place of Amir Abrashi. On 5 March 2015, Ajeti received Albanian citizenship among fellow defender of Basel Naser Aliji[78] to be eligible to play for Albania national team in official qualifiers matches.[79]
Euro 2016
On 21 May 2016, Ajeti was named in Albania's preliminary 27-man squad for UEFA Euro 2016,[80] and in Albania's final 23-man squad on 31 May where he was given the shirt number 18.[81]
On 28 May, he scored his first international goal during the Euro 2016 warm-up match against Qatar, which ended in a 3–1 win.[82][83]
Ajeti was an unused substitute in Albania's first ever UEFA Euro match against Switzerland which ended in a 1–0 defeat.[84] In the second match against the host country France, due to the dismissal of Lorik Cana, Ajeti started and put on a strong performance but was forced to be replaced in the 85th minute due to an injury; his ouster weakened the team which conceded two late goals.[85] In the third and final match against Romania on 19 June, Ajeti produced a Man of the Match performance by helping the team to keep a clean sheet in a 1–0 victory to provide last 16 hope.[86] With Ajeti on the pitch, Albania did not concede any goal during the course of the competition, making him a favourite of many Albania fans. Albania finished the group in the third position with three points and with a goal difference –2, and was ranked last in the third-placed teams, which eventually eliminated them.[87]
2018 FIFA World Cup qualification
Ajeti was unable to join the Albania national team in their first three 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification matches in September and October 2016 due to an injury. He was called up for the fourth game against Israel on 12 November 2016 but unable to recover in time to play in this match.[88] He was called up for the first time after the full recovery for a 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification match against Italy on 24 March and a friendly against Bosnia and Herzegovina on 28 March 2017.[89]
Personal life
In June 2015, Ajeti married Pranvera Krasniqi.[90] Despite having been born and raised in Switzerland, all of the Ajeti brothers have knowledge of the Albanian language, and mostly communicated in Albanian in their private life.[91] In July 2015, Ajeti and his family were granted Albanian citizenship.[92]
