Broja says the decision to pick Albania over England was an easy one as his parents are of Albanian origin.
The 19-year-old was born in Slough and could have represented the Three Lions at the international level but opted to play for the Red and Blacks.
Ahead of Albania’s World Cup qualifier against Gareth Southgate’s men on Sunday, the on-loan Vitesse forward gave a detailed reason on why he ditched England.
"It is a big decision, of course, when you choose your country to play for," Broja told Goal. "I went for it because I have got Albanian blood in me, I am Albanian, my parents are Albanian so it was an easy decision.
Albania have never been to the World Cup and Broja’s dream is to reach the finals with Edoardo Reja’s men.
"I thought I would love to make the people there proud and make my parents proud. I wanted to lift Albania up as a country to get us to the World Cup or Euros. That’s the biggest thing for them.
"If we got to the World Cup, it would be crazy and we would make history. We have never got there before so it would be something crazy as a country, you know.
"My parents are Albanian, I am Albanian and I have a lot of family in Albania. I visited there every year so it is really a big part of my life."
