Club career

She began her football journey at the age of 13 with the club 13 Qershori of Suva Reka, after receiving a special permit to play in the Kosovo League. At that time, there were no youth teams for girls, and she often played against much older opponents. Initially, Kolgeci played as a winger and forward, before later switching to the goalkeeper position after being asked to fill in during a match. [2] [3]

Kolgeci's early club career included stints with Feranda and 13 Qershori, before joining Hajvalia at age 15. She made her debut in the 2016–17 UEFA Champions League with Hajvalia, appearing against Apollon Limassol. She then joined Mitrovica, where she spent five seasons, winning league titles and cups, and gaining recognition for her performances. With Mitrovica, she faced top European clubs, including Vfl Wolfsburg, and contributed to several historic results for her team. [2] [3]

In 2023, Kolgeci moved to Albanian Kategoria Superiore, signing for Tirana, [4] and later joined Gramshi. During her time in Albania, she was part of a memorable victory over Vllaznia, handing the champions their first loss in 12 years. [3]

Kolgeci moved to Turkish Super League in September 2025, [3] and signed with the Diyarbakır-based club Amed to play in the 2025–26 Turkish Super League. [1] [5]

International career

Kolgeci has been capped for the Kosovo national team, [2] [3] appearing for the team during the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup qualifying cycle. She has also represented Kosovo at the U19 level. [6]
