Dashmir Elezi (Macedonian: Дашмир Елези; born 21 November 2004) is a Macedonian Albanian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Kosovan club Prishtina.
Club career
Born in Tetovo, North Macedonia, Elezi joined Shkëndija at youth level. He was promoted to the first team squad in November 2020, and became the youngest goal-scorer in the top flight of Macedonian football when he scored on his debut in a 1–1 draw against Shkupi, a day after his sixteenth birthday.
He signed his first professional contract in June 2021. In October of the same year, he was named by English newspaper The Guardian as one of the best players born in 2004 worldwide.
In January 2022, a proposed transfer to Turkish side Gaziantep fell through. However, a year later, in January 2023, Elezi moved to Georgia to join Erovnuli Liga side Torpedo Kutaisi, signing a three-year contract. However 14 days later, Shkëndija announced that Elezi had gone back to North Macedonia due to personal problems and continue playing for Shkëndija.
International career
Elezi has represented North Macedonia at youth international level.
Personal life
Elezi's father, Skender, died in a car accident near Plovdiv, Bulgaria in December 2022.
