Bilal Velija (born 22 October 1982) is a North Macedonia former professional footballer who played as a defender.
Career
Velija joined Olimpik Baku during the 2008 winter transfer window, helping them finish second in the 2007–08 season before leaving the club in June 2008.[1]
In March 2009, Velija signed a two-year contract with Løv-Ham of the Adeccoligaen.[2] Velija's time in Norway came to an end in 2010, when Løv-Ham decided to return to a semi-professional club, therefore releasing their full-time players, which included Velija.[3]
In February 2014, Velija went on trial with Veikkausliiga side VPS,[4] playing for them twice in the League Cup before returning to Gostivar. In April of the same year, Velija signed a six-month contract with Finnish Second Tier side JJK.[5]
Velija joined Musan Salama of the Finnish third tier Kakkonen in 2015.[6]
