Club career

Born in Albania, Ramaj was initially active for FC Iserlohn in his youth before playing for Wuppertaler SV in the A-Junior Bundesliga in the 2014–15 season. In the second half of the season he was used four times on the first team, playing in the Oberliga Niederrhein. He then moved to Westfalia Rhynern in the Oberliga Westfalen. There he was used five times in the first half of the season before he left the club and joined SV Hohenlimburg. After a season at TSG Sprockhövel in the Oberliga, Ramaj moved to Regionalliga club 1. FC Kaan-Marienborn for the 2018–19 season, for whom he scored ten goals in 31 games. He was the top scorer in his team, but they were relegated back to the Oberliga at the end of the season.

For the 2019–20 season, Ramaj moved to 3. Liga club Hansa Rostock. [2] He made his professional debut for Hansa Rostock in the 3. Liga on 20 July 2019, coming on as a substitute in the 84th minute for Pascal Breier in the away match against Viktoria Köln, which finished as a 3–3 draw. [3] After four league appearances (three times from the start) and five appearances (four goals) on the second team in the Oberliga Nordost, he was loaned out to Regionalliga Nord club VfB Lübeck on 20 January 2020 until the end of the season. [4] After the winter break, he was used in all four games (once from the start) until the season ended due to the COVID-19 pandemic and scored one goal. VfB Lübeck was declared champions and was promoted to the 3. Liga. At the end of June 2020 he agreed with Hansa Rostock to terminate his contract, which ran until June 2021 [5] and signed a new contract with VfB Lübeck with a term until 30 June 2021. [6]

The German football league system, or league pyramid, refers to the hierarchically interconnected league system for association football in Germany that in the 2016–17 season consisted of 2,235 leagues in up to 13 levels having 31,645 teams, in which all divisions are bound together by the principle of promotion and relegation. The top three professional levels contain one division each. Below this, the semi-professional and amateur levels have progressively more parallel divisions, which each cover progressively smaller geographic areas. Teams that finish at the top of their division at the end of each season can rise higher in the pyramid, while those that finish at the bottom find themselves sinking further down. Therefore, in theory, it is possible for even the lowest local amateur club to rise to the top of the system and become German football champions one day. The number of teams promoted and relegated between the divisions varies, and promotion to the upper levels of the pyramid is usually contingent on meeting additional criteria, especially concerning appropriate facilities and finances.

The Lohmühle – officially the Dietmar-Scholze-Stadion an der Lohmühle as of the 2020-21 3. Liga season - is a football stadium in Lübeck, Germany. It is the home ground of VfB Lübeck, located in the Holstentor Nord district, which is itself part of the larger St. Lorenz Nord area of the city. After the demolition of the old terracing and construction of the new main stand in 1996, a consequence of the club's promotion to the 2. Bundesliga the previous year, the stadium now has a capacity of 17,849 seats, of which about 4,400 are covered. For a considerable period prior to the redevelopment of Kiel's 15,034-seater Holstein-Stadion, the Lohmühle was the largest stadium in Schleswig-Holstein, but due to various restrictions only around 10,800 seats are currently usable. Between November 2011 and 2013 it was called PokerStars.de – Stadion an der Lohmühle because of a naming rights sponsorship by PokerStars.de.
