International career

[edit]

Between 2017 and 2019, Zajmi represented Slovenia at youth international level, playing for the under-17 and under-19 sides.[2] In January 2020, she received a call-up from the senior team for a training camp.[3]

On 5 February 2021, Zajmi again received a call-up from Slovenia for the final UEFA Euro 2022 qualifying match against Estonia.[4] Two weeks later, however, she accepted a call-up from Albania for a seven-day training camp in Ulcinj,[5] but the next day she was included in Slovenia's extended squad for the match against Estonia,[6] in which she did not become part of the final team.[7] On 12 November 2022, Zajmi made her debut with Slovenia in a friendly match against Kosovo after coming on as a substitute in the 88th minute in place of Kaja Korošec.[8]

Personal life

[edit]

Zajmi was born in Slovenia to Kosovo Albanian parents.[9] On 7 April 2022, she obtained Albanian passport.[9][10]
