Myrto Uzuni

Early career

Uzuni was born in Berat in 1995, Albania, to an Albanian family. He relocated to Zakynthos, Greece, at the age of 10 with his parents and two brothers. Driven by his passion for football, he joined the academies of the Zakynthos Club Association Doxa Pigadakia. Simultaneously, he assisted his parents in their restaurant in Zakynthos. Uzuni spent seven years there until 2012, when he returned to his hometown of Berat. Upon his return, he joined the local side Tomori and initiated his career by playing for the club's under-17 team. During the 2012–13 season, he emerged as the top goalscorer in the under-17 First Division, netting 14 goals. In the subsequent season, Uzuni continued his goal-scoring streak, scoring four times in his first four games. He then transitioned to the under-19 side, representing Tomori in a football tournament held in Spain in September 2013. Uzuni's exceptional performance contributed to Tomori's victory in the tournament, and he secured the position of the top goalscorer with seven goals. Consequently, his talent earned him a call-up to the senior team by head coach Madrid Muxhaj.

Tomori

Uzuni made his professional debut in an Albanian Cup match against Pogradeci on 24 October 2013, entering as a substitute in the 53rd minute for Fatjon Lajthia in a goalless draw.

Youth

After a successful first-half season in the Albanian First Division with Tomori, which led to a transfer to the Albanian Superliga at Apolonia, Uzuni received his first international call-up for the Albania under-21s squad. Head coach Skënder Gega selected him for a 3-day mini preparatory stage in Durrës, Albania, from 22 to 25 February 2015. In the following month, he was again called up for the 2017 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualification Group 4 opening match against Liechtenstein on 28 March 2015. Given the number 10 shirt for his international debut, Uzuni started in the attacking line alongside fellow Albanian Superliga player Jurgen Vatnikaj, supported by Liridon Latifi and Enis Gavazaj from the wings. Albania U21 secured a 2–0 away victory, marking a winning start to the qualification campaign with goals from Rey Manaj and Liridon Latifi. Uzuni played the full 90 minutes and made an attempt to score a third goal. However, with the managerial switch, Uzuni saw reduced playing time as tactics shifted to 4-2-3-1, with Rey Manaj as the preferred lone striker. Intense competition in the offensive line, along with the arrival of Fiorin Durmishaj and talented midfielders like Latifi, Endri Çekiçi, Milot Rashica, Gavazaj, and Eros Grezda, meant Uzuni often found himself on the bench or outside the 18-man squad. Despite frequent call-ups, he played only two other games: a last-minute substitute appearance against Liechtenstein on 16 November and a full…
