The 30-year-old defensive midfielder, who previously played for FCSB in 2018, is a key figure for Macedonian champions KF Shkëndija ahead of their UEFA Champions League second qualifying round clash starting July 22, 2025. Qaka acknowledged FCSB as a strong opponent despite their recent slip against Andorran side Inter d’Escaldes, emphasizing Shkëndija’s status as underdogs and his team’s preparedness. Having a solid background in Romanian football with multiple clubs, Qaka’s experience and leadership pose a significant threat to FCSB’s European ambitions. This tie represents a crucial test for both sides, with implications for continental progression and the showcasing of Qaka’s matured form since his Romanian tenure[1][2][5].
