Ahmed Januzi was born in Vučitrn to Kosovar Albanian parents.[citation needed]
On 14 June 2016, Januzi returned to Kosovo by completing a transfer to Prishtina, signing a one-year contract, and taking the vacant squad number 27.[1] He was presented on the same day along with players such as Armend Dallku and Debatik Curri, his former international teammates.[2] During the 2016–17 season, he made 18 league appearances and scored 2 goals as Prishtina finished runner-up in the championship, securing a spot Europa League first qualifying round.[3]
Januzi was part of Albania under-21 squad in the qualifiers of 2011 UEFA European Under-21 Championship.[4] He was the main striker, collecting six matches and scoring one goal.[4] He made his under-21 debut on 28 March 2008 in the first match against Scotland which finished in a 0–1 home defeat.[5] His first under-21 goal came in his fifth appearance for the team in the 4–2 away loss to Belarus.[6] Albania finished Group A in fourth place tied on points with Azerbaijan.[7]
Januzi made his senior international debut on 17 November 2010 during the goalless home draw against Macedonia by appearing as a substitute in the second half.[8] A year later, Januzi received his second call up by coach Josip Kuže for the last UEFA Euro 2012 qualifying matches against France and Romania on 7 and 11 October 2011 respectively.[9] He played in both matches as substitute and collected 60 minutes, making his competitive debut in the process.[10][11]
