Aferdita Kameraj (born 5 June 1984 in Deçan, Yugoslavia) is a German football defender of Kosovar descent. She currently plays for Cloppenburg in the 2nd Bundesliga.[1]

Career

Kameraj was born in Yugoslavia (now Kosovo[a]). She moved to Hamburg with her family when she was a little child. Her career began at the HEBC Hamburg. She then moved to FTSV Altenwerder before joining the Hamburger SV in 2000. She won promotion to the Bundesliga in 2001 and 2003 and played the German Cup final in 2002 with the team.

In 2006 Kameraj signed for Turbine Potsdam, with which she also played the UEFA Women's Cup.[2] Two years later she returned to Hamburger SV, for which she played until the team withdrew from the Bundesliga for financial reasons in 2012. She then moved to Cloppenburg in the second tier.

She made several appearances for Germany on the junior level, playing the 2004 U-19 European Championship.[3]

Notes

  1. ^ The political status of Kosovo is disputed. Having unilaterally declared independence from Serbia in 2008, Kosovo is formally recognised as an independent state by 100 UN member states (with another 13 states recognising it at some point but then withdrawing their recognition) and 93 states not recognizing it, while Serbia continues to claim it as part of its own sovereign territory.
