Personal life
editHasani was born in Tetovo, North Macedonia to an ethnic Albanian family. As a child, Hasani grew up with the nickname Buba (lit. 'bug' or 'beetle') because he was quicker on the ball than his peers.[2] Hasani joined Shkëndija at the age of 8.[2]
Club career
editShkëndija
editWhen 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.[2] He became a fan favourite by scoring a goal from a free kick against rivals FK Vardar[2] 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.[2]
There was some speculation that Croatian club Hajduk Split and German club VfL Wolfsburg,[3] 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.[4]
VfL Wolfsburg
editOn 16 December 2011, Hasani agreed to a three-year deal with Wolfsburg and joined the German club immediately after the New Year.[4][5][6] 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".[7]
On 30 September 2012, Hasani made his debut for Wolfsburg, coming on in the 45th minute against Mainz 05.
During the 2012–13 season's winter transfer period, Hasani received interest from Croatian club Dinamo Zagreb. It was reported that Wolfsburg and Dinamo have agreed terms and all that remains is a medical test on 25 January.[8][9] Dinamo coach Kruno Jurčić stated "He is a winger who can play on both sides and he's the kind of player we need. 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".[9] 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.[10]

2014–15 season
editAfter a successful pre-season, in which he scored against Liverpool,[13] Hasani succumbed to injury missing out on the beginning of the season.
On 7 December, Hasani returned and Brøndby defeated Silkeborg IF 1–0. Hasani scored the goal on what was the 50th anniversary of Brøndby.[citation needed] Ferhan had a successful season with Brøndby reaching third in the Superliga.

International career
editHasani made his full international debut on 22 December 2010 against China in a friendly match.[20] At the end of the football season, Hasani was called up to the Macedonian squad for the upcoming fixture with Ireland for the UEFA Euro 2012 qualifiers. He came on as a substitute in the tenth minute and Macedonia went on to lose 0–2 to Ireland.[21] With Macedonia effectively out of the qualifications of the UEFA Euro 2012, Hasani was called to play for the Under-21s team against Serbia for the UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship qualifiers.
