Isli Hidi (born 15 October 1980) is an Albanian professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Teuta in the Albanian Superliga and the Albanian national team.[1] Hidi has won 11 official titles, being one of Albanian footballers with most honours in history.[2]
Club career
He started off his career at his hometown club, Tirana in 1998. After very few appearances, he was loaned out to Bylis Ballsh. After making a huge impact, he returned to Tirana to compete for the number 1 shirt. He signed for the Ukrainian club Kryvbas Kryvyi Rih in August 2007. In 2008, Hidi moved to Alki Larnaca for the remainder of the 2008–09 season. Hidi rejoined Kryvbas Kryvyi Rih on a three-year contract for around one million dollars per season on 3 March 2009.
On 6 July 2010, he signed for Dinamo Tirana for the 2010–11 season.[3] On 7 January 2011, Hidi joined Cyprus's Olympiakos Nicosia by inking a contract until the end of the season.[4]
In July 2018, Hidi joined Teuta Durrës on a one-year contract, returning in Albanian Superliga after eight years.[5]
International career
Hidi received his first senior international call-up in May 2005 for the friendly match versus Poland by German coach Hans-Peter Briegel who was impressed by Hidi's performances in the Albanian Superliga with his club at the time Tirana. He earned his first cap in that match, but things could not have started any worse for him as Poland scored in under 2 minutes with Maciej Żurawski.[6] Hidi's second appearance for Albania came later that year, on 17 August against Azerbaijan at Qemal Stafa Stadium; he started again and conceded another early goal, but this time the team bounced back and won 2–1 in front of around 7,300 Albanian fans.[7]
Personal life
In 2017, Hidi begun the application for Cypriot passport.[8]
