Dukan Ahmeti, a young Croatian national player, joined the first team training sessions at Alaves as part of the IBAIA-ISTRA academy program, introduced by Josean Querejeta, the president of Grupo Baskonia Alavés. This program previously included players like Moris Valinčić, Iurie Iovu, and Salim Fago Lawal. After the training period, Ahmeti is expected to rejoin Istra's senior team unless he remains in Spain, which is a possibility due to the identical ownership of Alaves and Istra.
