Arbnor Muçolli

Arbnor Muçolli (; born 15 September 1999) is a professional footballer who plays as a winger for Swedish Allsvenskan club IFK Göteborg and the Albania national team.

Club career Early career and Vejle BK Muçolli was born in Fredericia, Denmark, to ethnic Albanian parents from Podujevo, Kosovo, and began his career with local club Fredericia at the age of five alongside his elder brother Agon.

Having established himself as a central midfielder, Muçolli made his debut for Vejle BK on 17 November 2016, aged 17, in a match against Næstved BK, playing 80 minutes before being substituted.

Muçolli missed parts of the 2017–18 season due to injury but still made 15 appearances, contributing to Vejle's promotion to the Superliga.

During the 2019–20 Danish 1st Division season, he helped Vejle earn promotion back to the Danish Superliga, making 26 appearances and winning Player of the Season honours. On 6 July 2020, Muçolli scored a hat-trick in a 4–1 win over Roskilde.

IFK Göteborg On 6 July 2023, Muçolli joined Swedish Allsvenskan club IFK Göteborg on a contract running until the end of 2026. He made his competitive debut four days later, replacing Marcus Berg at half-time in a 2–1 league defeat against Varbergs BoIS at Gamla Ullevi. His first start for Blåvitt came the following week in a draw away to IF Elfsborg, where he played 81 minutes before being substituted. On 13 August, he scored his first goal for the club in a 2–1 home win over Djurgårdens IF. He scored his first brace on 3 September in a 2–2 draw against Malmö FF, a match temporarily interrupted after objects were thrown from the stands following his second goal. Due to his outstanding performances throughout September 2023, including three goals in three appearances, he was awarded the title of Player of the Month for September. In his debut half-season with IFK Göteborg, Muçolli scored six goals in 17 appearances as the club narrowly avoided relegation by finishing 13th in the league. Although he returned to partial training in July 2025, Swedish media reported in September 2025 that he would miss the remainder of the season after suffering a setback during his recovery from the anterior cruciate ligament injury.

International career Born in Denmark, he was capped four times at under-18 level, making his debut on 8 March 2017 against Italy.

Being of Albanian descent, Muçolli represented the Albania under-21 side in the 2019 and 2021 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualifiers, making his debut against Spain on 6 September 2018, scoring once against Kosovo on 15 October 2019 and earning 10 caps overall.

Muçolli made his senior debut for Albania in a friendly against Estonia on 13 June 2022, and later that year also featured in two additional friendly matches under head coach Edoardo Reja. He made his competitive debut on 20 November 2023 in a UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying match against the Faroe Islands, coming on as a substitute for the final 30 minutes of the 0–0 draw, a result that secured Albania first place in Group E despite finishing level on 15 points with the Czech Republic but ahead on head-to-head records. He was considered as part of the squad rotation options for the UEFA Euro 2024 finals but ultimately missed inclusion after suffering an injury in May 2024.
