Emiljano Bullari (born 6 April 2001) is a professional footballer who plays as a forward for Super League Greece 2 club PAS Giannina. Born in Greece, he has represented Albania at youth level and has been called up to the senior national team but has yet to make his debut.
Bullari began playing football at age six with the local club Agersani Naxos in 2007. He later joined PAS Naxos before moving to Olympiacos in 2015 at age 14, where he also featured in the UEFA Youth League. [1] In 2017, at age 16, he was promoted to Olympiacos' first team by Albanian coach Besnik Hasi, becoming the youngest player to sign a professional contract in the club's history. [2] He made his first-team debut later that year due to an injury to Dimitris Manos, during the tenure of coach Pedro Martins. [3]
In 2020, Bullari joined Atromitos on a free transfer for one season. [4]
After leaving Olympiacos, where competition for places was high, Bullari moved to Atromitos in the Super League Greece hoping for more first-team opportunities. According to Greek media, the transfer was initially encouraged by Austrian coach Damir Kanadi, who soon resigned, with new coach Pantelis Pantelidis choosing not to use him in competitive matches. Reports noted that before joining Atromitos, Bullari had also been close to signing with Newcastle United’s under-23 side in England, a move which ultimately fell through. [5]
In the 2022–23 season, Bullari played for Kalamata in the Super League Greece 2, making 13 appearances without scoring. [6]
In the 2023–24 season, he featured for Egaleo in Greek second division, making 14 appearances and scoring 3 goals. [6]
"I feel good playing in the Albanian championship, it is a very strong league. In football you sometimes score, sometimes not; today I am happy that we won and I managed to score."
On 9 August 2024, Bullari signed with Laçi in the Albanian Kategoria Superiore. [8] He played 29 league games scoring 2 goals and added 3 cup appearances with 2 goals. [6]
In September 2025, Bullari returned to Greece to play for PAS Giannina in the Super League Greece 2. [9]
Born in Naxos, Greece, Bullari is of Albanian descent and has been part of the Albanian football structure since early adolescence. He has represented Albania at U17, U19, and U21 levels, playing for the under-17s in 2016–17 where he scored two goals in four appearances, for the under-19s in 2018–19 with one goal in five matches, and for the under-21s in 2019–20 with two goals in six appearances. [10]
In November 2018, Albania U19 coach Erjon Bogdani called up Bullari to the national team, as the Albanian Football Federation won the competition against the Hellenic Football Federation who were also attempting to recruit him for Greece's youth national teams. [11] Soon after, he scored for Albania U19 in a friendly match against Romania. [12]
In October 2020, he was called up by senior team coach Edoardo Reja for the Albanian national team, but was later released from the final squad and continued to feature with the under-21s instead. [13]
With the under-21s, Bullari scored decisive goals in qualification matches, including a 3–1 victory over Andorra, [14] and a last-minute equalizer in a 2–2 draw away against Turkey. [15] Although called up to the senior squad, Bullari has yet to make his debut for the Albania national team.
Bullari is a tall and physical forward, standing at 1.90 m. He is known for his aerial ability, hold-up play, and finishing in one-on-one situations.
