Club career

International career

Bejtullai is of Albanian Macedonian descent. Bejtullai was a regular in the Macedonia U21 team and performed at the 2017 UEFA European Under-21 Championship in Poland, where he served as first right back choice.^[1]

In May 2016 and March 2017 he also received call-ups for Macedonia in friendlies against Azerbaijan,^[2] Iran and Belarus, but he did not make his debut until 6 September 2018 during the first round of the 2018–19 UEFA Nations League D competition, when he entered the game against Gibraltar in the 85th minute.^[3]^[4]

During North Macedonia's opening fixture of the tournament against Austria, immediatedly after striker Marko Arnautović (who is half-Serbian) scored, Arnautović angrily shouted towards Bejtullai and teammate Ezgjan Alioski –both of Albanian descent–what were believed to be anti-Albanian slurs. Football Federation of Macedonia released a statement calling for action by UEFA.^[5]^[6]
