Club career

=Youth=

The Ajeti twins started their youth football with Basel in 2005, at the same time as their elder brother moved to the club from Concordia. In the 2011–12 and 2012–13 seasons Albian Ajeti played in Basel's U-16 and with the team he twice became Swiss Champion at this level. During the 2012–13 season he also played in their U-18 team. On 30 April 2013 the twin brothers both signed their first professional contracts with the club,{{cite web | last = FC Basel 1893 | year = 2014 | url = http://www.fcb.ch/news/show/byItemID/-/10826/30311 | title = Profiverträge für Adonis und Albian Ajeti | publisher = FC Basel 1893 | access-date = 30 April 2013 | language = de | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20140308032008/http://www.fcb.ch/news/show/byItemID/-/10826/30311 | archive-date = 8 March 2014 | url-status = dead }} thus also becoming part of their first team. During the 2013–14 season he was called into their U-21 team.

=Basel=

Albian Ajeti played a number of test games before the 2013–14 FC Basel season and scored the winning goal in the 3–2 win against RB Leipzig on 26 June 2013 during the club's training camp in Walchensee.{{cite web | last = Marti | first = Caspar | year = 2013 | url = http://www.fcb.ch/news/show/byItemID/de-de/10044/30700/26/7/7 | title = Der FCB schlägt RB Leipzig mit 3:2 | publisher = FC Basel 1893 | access-date = 26 June 2013 | language = de | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20140315172415/http://www.fcb.ch/news/show/byItemID/de-de/10044/30700/26/7/7 | archive-date = 15 March 2014 | url-status = dead }} He spent most of the season playing with the FCB U-21 team in the 1. Liga Promotion, the third tier of the Swiss Football League, but was often called to the first team, taking a place on their substitute bench.

Ajeti made his professional debut, coming in as a substitute, on 13 March 2014 in the 2013–14 UEFA Europa League Round of 16 home tie in St. Jakob-Park.{{cite web | last = Marti | first = Caspar | year = 2014 | url = http://www.fcb.ch/news/show/byItemID/de-de/10044/31927/26/7/7 | title = Keine Tore zwischen Basel und Salzburg | publisher = FC Basel 1893 | access-date = 13 March 2014 | language = de | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20140315184609/http://www.fcb.ch/news/show/byItemID/de-de/10044/31927/26/7/7 | archive-date = 15 March 2014 | url-status = dead }} The match against Red Bull Salzburg ended in a goalless draw.{{cite web | last = Hindley | first = Martyn | year = 2014 | url = https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/match/2012658--basel-vs-salzburg/ | title= Basel put breaks on Salzburg | publisher = UEFA | access-date = 13 March 2014}} At 6 April 2014, he made his league debut against FC Thun in a goalless draw in St. Jakob-Park.{{cite web|url=https://int.soccerway.com/matches/2014/04/06/switzerland/super-league/fc-basel/fc-thun/1481317/|title=Basel vs. FC Thun - 6 April 2014 - Soccerway|publisher=soccerway.com|access-date=16 April 2014}} At the end of the 2013–14 Super League season he won the league championship with Basel.{{cite web | last = Grossenbacher | first = Sacha | year = 2014 | url = http://www.fcb.ch/de-CH/Saison/Saisonspiel?m=2816 | title= Fotos vom Spiel gegen Lausanne sowie den anschliessenden Feierlichkeiten | publisher = FC Basel 1893 | access-date = 18 May 2014|language=de}} They also reached the final of the 2013–14 Swiss Cup, but were beaten 2–0 by Zürich after extra time. During the 2013–14 Champions League season Basel reached the group stage and finished the group in third position.
