Irish-Albanian sensations fire as U17s reflect the stories of those who made Ireland homeIt's not many Ireland underage internationals whose call-ups are hailed by the president of another nation. But then most Ireland underage internationals aren’t sons of former Celtic footballers and most presidents aren’t as Celtic mad as Albanian president Ilir Meta. As Ireland U17s, already qualified for the elite phase in spring 2022, recovered from a disastrous start to seal top spot in Group 5 thanks to a sensational free-kick from Justin Ferizaj, it was once again notable that three of the standout stars of the team this past week have been of Albanian descent. Rocco Vata, son of former Albania captain and Celtic defender Rudi, and Ferizaj (twice) have scored stunning solo goals – all three efforts worthy of any FAI Goal of the Year shortlist, even since the seniors have started scoring in bulk again – and Kevin Zefi has been brilliant on the left wing while bagging a goal and threatening more.
“I'm Albanian-Irish. I speak fluent Albanian at home with my mam and dad. We go there every year but due to coronavirus we haven't gone for the past two years, ” said midfielder Justin, who picked Basel’s Taulant Xhaka, elder brother of Swiss international and Arsenal player Granit, as his favourite Albanian player. — Shamrock Rovers Academy (@SRFCAcademy) October 13, 2021 It was also at Rovers where Zefi made his name as the youngest goalscorer in League of Ireland history, aged 15, although it was his Ireland caps that put him on Inter’s radar, scoring twice and assisting the other in a famous 3-1 victory over an England U15 team featuring Jude Bellingham in December 2019. Zefi’s family will join him for the move to Milan, a city where they already have relatives who moved there from Albania.
