A Wedding to RememberThe Sahitis chose the noble "Villa Gala," approximately 30 kilometers from Split, to host their wedding. Around 100 guests were invited,including former St. Pauli and Werder pro Ivan Klasnic, who considers Sahiti a friend since the striker joined HSV last summer. Klasnic spoke warmly of Sahiti, wishing him happiness in both his personal and professional life, adding that he believes Sahiti's contributions played a significant role in HSV's promotion to the Bundesliga.

Past, Present, and FutureWith Sahiti, the Bundesliga's first season back was a triumph. The wedding was the icing on the cake. Moving forward, Sahiti hopes to achieve two more dreams: to maintain HSV's spot in the Bundesliga and to compete in the 2026 World Cup as part of Kosovo's national team. Kosovo faces a challenging qualifying group consisting of Switzerland, Sweden, and Slovenia.

As Sahiti navigates his future, his wedding day stands as a cherished memory of love and success. The road ahead promises exciting challenges, but one thing is certain: Sahiti will face them with determination and the support of his new family.

Bridging the Past: Emir Sahiti and Ivan Klasnic's Unbreakable BondIvan Klasnic, the 45-year-old former Croatian national player, has been a vital support system for Sahiti. Both got to know each other when Klasnic moved from Hajduk Split to HSV last summer and provided crucial assistance whenever Sahiti required help. Despite Klasnic's previous affiliations with Werder and St. Pauli, the seasoned player states, "it was about time HSV belonged in the first league."

In the world of sports, Emir Sahiti, the HSV winger, is not only making strides in the Bundesliga but also demonstrating his passion off the field. His love story led him to tie the knot with Kim, and their special day was attended by former St. Pauli star Ivan Klasnic, who also shared his excitement for Sahiti's potential success in European football leagues.

Furthering his dreams, Sahiti aims to keep HSV in the Bundesliga and represent Kosovo in the 2026 World Cup, a challenge that he faces with determination, buoyed by the support of his new family and mentors like Ivan Klasnic.
