Krasniqi, who has represented the Kosovo national football team in 3 friendly matches in the period 2014-2015, is already the first Kosovar to represent an Asian national.
He received his Malaysian passport a few days ago and will be able to play in Asian eliminators for the World Cup.
The striker gained attention with an ironic post he posted on Facebook several years ago that read, "I'm Albanian, I'm a boss because I eat yogurt with waffle."
But now it seems that after being forgotten by the Kosovo national team because of various reasons, Liridon Krasniqi becomes Malaysian.
