International career

[edit]

Kaçaçi made his debut for Albania in a September 1990 friendly match against Greece and earned a total of two caps, scoring no goals.[1]

His second and final international was a November 1990 European Championship qualification match against France.[2]

Defection

The players were later reported to have sought asylum in Switzerland.[4]
