Bahri Ahmet Kavaja (23 August 1924 – 19 August 1987) was an Albanian football player who played for Vllaznia Shkodër and Dinamo Tirana as well as the Albania national team.[3]

In 1950 after a game in Hungary, he escaped his team along with Dule Vathi after swimming the strait of Bosphorus, and did not return to the Communist regime in Albania, eventually settling in New Zealand.[4][5] He became a naturalised New Zealand citizen in 1965,[1] and died in Adelaide, South Australia, on 19 August 1987.[6]
