Rising football talent Delis Gjeci, currently part of Inter Primavera in Italy, has officially committed to representing Albania’s U-17 national team, marking an important step in his young career.
Born on February 27, 2009, in Pordenone to Albanian parents originating from Bago, a village near Kavajë, Gjeci is regarded as an attacking midfielder with strong potential. His early performances at youth level have drawn attention for his technical ability and forward-driven style, positioning him as one of the promising prospects among Albanian talents abroad.
Gjeci is currently developing within the youth system of Inter Primavera, where he has been featuring with the U-19 squad and delivering impressive displays. His progress has not gone unnoticed, with Italian football authorities reportedly expressing interest in calling him up for Italy’s youth national teams.
