Albanian and Kosovar football have been shocked by the news of the passing of footballer Fatjon Bunjaku.

The 22-year-old midfielder, who was part of AF Elbasani, lost his life after a serious car accident on the Pristina-Mitrovicë axis, leaving behind a promising career tragically interrupted at its peak.

Over the past few years, the 22-year-old has worn the jerseys of KF Trepça, Liria, Gjilan and Malisheva, gaining experience at the highest levels of football in Kosovo.

In Albanian football, Bunjaku played a total of 31 matches and scored 3 goals, contributing to the elite championship.
