Stivi Frashëri (born 29 August 1990 in Korçë) is an Albanian professional footballer who plays as a Goalkeeper for KF Tirana in the Albanian Superliga, as well as the Albania national team.

Club career

Early career

Frashëri joined the youth setup of his local side Skënderbeu Korçë as a 14 year old, where he remained for two years until 2007, which was when he moved to Greece to sign for Aris Thessaloniki. He joined the youth team at Aris Thessaloniki, but he was also invited to train with the first team after impressing in youth games for the club. He spent three years in Greece with Aris Thessalonik before leaving the club in the summer of 2010 with the desire to move back to Albania and play regular first team football for the first time in his career.

Bylis Ballsh

Frashëri joined newly promoted Albanian Superliga side Bylis Ballsh after returning to Albania, and he immediately established himself as a first team regular at the age of 20, despite competition from veteran goalkeeper and former Nigeria international Ndubuisi Egbo. In his debut season in Albania he made 22 league appearances out of a possible 33, as he helped his side finish in a respectable 6th out of 12 teams. The following season he remained the first choice goalkeeper, ahead of Ndubuisi Egbo once again and new signing Eduard Miço, as he featured in 15 out of 26 league games to help his side finish 6th out of 14 teams. His side struggled in a relegation battle during the 2012–13 season, but he managed to help Bylis Ballsh escape relegation by just a single point. After being knocked out of the Albanian Cup in the quarter finals in two consecutive campaigns, Frashëri helped his side reach the final against KF Laçi, which they ultimately lost as Frashëri conceded a goal in 119th minute of the game which had gone into extra time.[1] The 2013–14 season proved to be one of the most difficult of his career, as he struggled to regain his place as first choice goalkeeper, and his side were disqualified from the Albanian Superliga due to an incident involving the club's president and Albanian Football Association officials that resulted in mass brawl. After the club was disqualified from the Albanian Superliga, Frashëri, much like the rest of the first team squad began looking for new clubs to join the following season.

KF Tirana

In June 2014 KF Tirana were looking for a concrete replacement of Ilion Lika who left for Flamurtari Vlorë and they saw Frashëri as ideal replacement, where he was a Free agent.[2] During the same month FK Kukësi, a fellow Albanian Superliga club, showed interest about him but he definitivily was convinced to choose KF Tirana, where he declared that will sign for the club.[3] He made it his debut on 24 August 2014 against Apolonia Fier in the opening match of the 2014–15 season, where he played the full 90-minutes match and managed to keep the clean sheet, as Tirana won the match 3–0.[4]

In the Derby match against Partizani Tirana, Frashëri made a mistake during a shoot and the Partizani Tirana striker Stevan Račić scored a goal which resulted decisive for the match as Partizani Tirana won the match 1–2.[5] He was criticised too much after the match, where also the coach Gugash Magani declared that Frashëri can not cope with such pressure match.[6] After that Frashëri was sit on the bench for next match and then in a status update in his Facebook fanpage, Frashëri accused KF Tirana and his team mates for being hardly offended by them.[7] On 17 March 2015 KF Tirana announced to have suspend Frashëri for 3 months due to his accuses against the club.[8] But despite this negative situation, Frashëri made a short declaration where he said that will not leave Tirana.[9]

Then Frashëri returned to participate in the Albanian Cup match against Laçi on 8 April 2015, but just on the bench because Tirana gave the starting place Edvan Bakaj.[10] He returned playing again in the starting line up on 9 May 2015 against Skënderbeu Korçë where he managed to keep the clean sheet in a goalless draw.[11]

International career

Albania U17

Frashëri made it his UEFA competition debut as a 16-year-old with the Albania national under-17 football team on 15 October 2006 in a 1–4 loss against Finland U-17, match valid for the 2007 UEFA European Under-17 Championship qualifying round.[12] He played in all 3 matches valids for the Group 9 including the 1–1 draw against Israel U-17 on 17 October 2006[13] and in the 0–2 loss against Poland U-17 on 20 October 2006.[14]

Albania U19

Frashëri called up in the Albania national under-19 football team to participate in the 2009 UEFA European Under-19 Championship qualifying round starting from 8 October 2008. He debuted with Albania U19 in the opening match against England U-19 finished in the 3–0 loss.[15] He continued playing in another match of the tournament, 2 days later in the 5–0 loss against Serbia U-19.[16] For the 3rd and last match against Northern Ireland U-19 he sat on the bench since the match was no valid for the tournament anymore and his place was left for fellow goalkeeper Elson Demi.[17]

Albania U21

Frashëri was called up for the first time in the Albania national under-21 football team by coach Artan Bushati for the match of the 2011 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualification on 4 September 2010 against Azerbaijan U-21,[18] but he was an unused substitute behind the first choice Shpëtim Moçka.[19]

In the next European U-21 tournament, the 2013 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualification, Frashëri played every minute in all 8 matches of the Group 6.

Albania senior team

Frashëri received his first senior call-up at the Albania national team by coach Gianni De Biasi for the Friendly matches against France and Italy on 14 & 18 November 2014 and this to replace the fellow Albanian Superliga goalkeeper of Partizani Tirana, Alban Hoxha, which had some issue family problems.[20] He was an unused substitute as a 3rd choise 23rd shirt number behind of the starter Etrit Berisha and Orges Shehi for both matches.[21][22]
