Ferhan Hasani (Macedonian: Ферхан Хасани) nicknamed "Buba", is a Macedonian professional footballer of Albanian origin who plays for Shkëndija and the Macedonia national team.
He made his full international debut on 22 December 2010 against China in a friendly game.
Hasani was born in Tetovo, Macedonia and is of Albanian heritage. As a child, Hasani grew up with the nickname Buba. Buba is a name given to a bug or beetle in Albanian and Macedonian and he was given this name because he was quicker on the ball than his peers. Hasani joined FK Shkëndija at the age of 8.
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, 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.
