Unleash the Spirit: Emir Sahiti Steps Away Temporarily for a Heartwarming Reason
Unique Perspective: HSV Pro Sahiti's Aversion to Representing the National Team
Hang with Miro Muheim (Switzerland), Immanuel Pherai (Suriname), Adam Karabec (U21 EM with Czech Republic) and Alexander Røssing-Lelesiit (U19 EM with Norway)—that's four HSV pros currently keeping the national team spirit alive! However, an unspoken fifth would have been along for the ride, had Emir Sahiti's personal request not come into play. For this HSV star, the summer held a secret of the sweetest kind.
Post-joining HSV, it's been smooth sailing for Sahiti in terms of his national team presence. After a two-and-a-half-year-long wait, he's been consistent with the national team. Out of 8 games, he's played in 5, scoring one goal. His run was momentarily halted by an ankle injury.
Sahiti, the Dedicated Patriot for Kosovo
As proud as Sahiti is to represent his nation, an unexpected twist arose:When the nominations for the friendly games against Armenia (this Friday) and the Comoros (Monday) dropped, our man requested a slightly unusual favor. He pleaded with head coach Franco Foda to sort of take a raincheck this time around.

Our star is setting the stage for the ultimate family photo: a wedding! He and his long-time love, Kim, will walk down the aisle soon, and Foda, the former German national player (with two appearances), showed magnanimity and granted his request. Given the limited sporting significance of the upcoming international matches, it seems like a win-win situation all around.
The June World Cup qualification is where the real action kicks off, but until then, Sahiti can shift his focus to mundane yet significant matters—taking wedding vows and celebrating some good ol' family time. Ten months prior, Sahiti embraced a new role as a doting father. Since then, he and Kim have been enjoying their new family, with their little angel. Soon, they'll seal the deal with rings that will symbolize their eternal bond—and a silent thank you to Foda will surely be in order.

Emir Sahiti, despite his regular appearances for Hamburger SV in the Bundesliga, has temporarily stepped away from the national team for a heartwarming reason. He requested a break from head coach Franco Foda to focus on his upcoming wedding with his long-time love, Kim, and to enjoy some family time before sealing their eternal bond.
With the June World Cup qualification approaching, Sahiti's dedication to the Kosovo national team remains unwavering. However, for the time being, he is shifting his focus to personal matters, including his new role as a doting father and the exciting wedding day with Kim.
