Ferhan Hasani ({{langx|mk|Ферхан Хасани}}; born 18 June 1990), nicknamed Buba, is a Macedonian professional footballer.
He made his full international debut on 22 December 2010 against China in a friendly game.{{Cite web|url=http://www.macedonianfootball.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=3137:ferhan-hasani-expected-to-join-gent&catid=13:international&Itemid=64|title=Ferhan Hasani expected to join Gent|date=29 July 2010|website=Macedonianfootball.com}} He represented the nation at UEFA Euro 2020, their first major tournament.
Personal life
Hasani was born in Tetovo, North Macedonia to an ethnic Albanian family. As a child, Hasani grew up with the nickname Buba ({{Literal translation|bug|beetle}}) because he was quicker on the ball than his peers.{{cite web|title=Ferhan Hasani – best player in 2010/11|url= http://macedonianfootball.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=2934:ferhan-hasani-best-player-in-201011&catid=1:domestic&Itemid=63|access-date=8 June 2011}} Hasani joined Shkëndija at the age of 8.
Club career
=Shkëndija=
When Shkëndija were in the Macedonian Second League, Hasani got his chance to play for the senior squad when he was 17 years old. In the second of his two seasons with the senior squad, Hasani scored 13 goals in 27 matches, establishing himself as best striker in the team and an important contributor to Shkëndija's championship 2010–11 season, earning Shkëndija promotion to the Macedonian First League. He became a fan favourite by scoring a goal from a free kick against rivals FK Vardar in the final game of the season. During the half time of the game against Metalurg, Hasani was presented as the best player of the season.
There was some speculation that Croatian club Hajduk Split and German club VfL Wolfsburg,{{cite web | title = Шкендија стартуваше некомплетна | url = http://www.dnevnik.com.mk/default.asp?ItemID=A363663FE5B80F40898955EC5A6F767D | date = 12 June 2011 | access-date = 14 June 2011 | language = mk | archive-date = 23 March 2012 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20120323014920/http://www.dnevnik.com.mk/default.asp?ItemID=A363663FE5B80F40898955EC5A6F767D | url-status = dead }} were interested in signing the striker, as well as Dutch side FC Groningen and Gent of Belgium. However, Hasani remained at Shkendija for the first half of the new season. The season started well until he suffered an injury that kept him out of the squad until the latter half of the year. Hasani contributed five goals and eight assists for his club that season before leaving in the winter break.{{cite web | title = Mazedonier Hasani bringt sich beim VfL ins Gespräch | url = http://www.newsclick.de/index.jsp/menuid/2050/artid/15410549 | archive-url = https://archive.today/20120905202612/http://www.newsclick.de/index.jsp/menuid/2050/artid/15410549 | url-status = dead | archive-date = 5 September 2012 | access-date = 18 December 2011 | date = 16 December 2011 | language = de | first1 = Daniel | last1 = Mau | first2 = Felix | last2 = Ehlert }}

On 16 December 2011, Hasani agreed to a three-year deal with Wolfsburg and joined the German club immediately after the New Year.{{cite web|title=Ferhan Hasani reaches agreement with Wolfsburg|url= http://www.macedonianfootball.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=3982:ferhan-hasani-reaches-agreement-to-join-wolfsburg&catid=13:international&Itemid=64| date=16 December 2011 | access-date = 14 July 2013}}{{cite web | url = http://www.uefa.com/memberassociations/association=mkd/news/newsid=1738066.html | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20120114160601/http://www.uefa.com/memberassociations/association=mkd/news/newsid=1738066.html | url-status = dead | archive-date = 14 January 2012 | title = Tričkovski, Hasani honoured in FYROM | publisher = UEFA | date = 24 December 2011 | access-date = 14 July 2013}} Wolfsburg manager, Felix Magath, stated that new acquisitions Hasani and Slobodan Medojević were "two young players who have played exceptionally well in their respective leagues and are talents from whose we expect to be great players".{{cite news|title=Wolfsburg signs prospects from Serbia, Macedonia|url= http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2012/soccer/wires/01/02/2080.ap.soc.wolfsburg.transfers.0109/index.html|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20120204045513/http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2012/soccer/wires/01/02/2080.ap.soc.wolfsburg.transfers.0109/index.html|url-status= dead|archive-date= 4 February 2012| date = 2 January 2012 | access-date = 14 July 2013|work=CNN}}
On 30 September 2012, Hasani made his debut for Wolfsburg, coming on in the 45th minute against Mainz 05.

I've seen him when I was working for Croatia national team and was scouting Macedonia so when an opportunity came to sign him we didn't hesitate". But the transfer failed.
With the Wolfsburg squad being reduced and not receiving much match time, Hasani planned to leave in the summer, with possible interests from Dynamo Dresden and Brøndby.{{cite web|last=Zlateski|first=Aleksandar|title=Hasani in talks with Brøndby, Dynamo Dresden |url=http://macedonianfootball.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=5816:hasani-in-talks-with-brondby-dynamo-dresden&catid=13:international&Itemid=64|publisher=MacedonianFootball.com|access-date=16 September 2013|date=2 September 2013}}
