Suspension
In November 1987, Rragami's playing career was more or less ended by the communist regime, who suspended him for two years for his role in the defection of Vllaznia players Lulëzim Bërshemi and Arvid Hoxha in Helsinki after a European tie with Finnish side Rovaniemi PS.[2] He was punished to forced labour in Pult alongside team manager Bahri Aqemi, head coach Astrit Hafizi and club doctor Zyhdi Çoba.[3]
International career
He made his debut for Albania in a September 1980 World Cup qualification match against Finland in Tirana and earned a total of 14 caps, scoring no goals. His final international was a March 1985 friendly match against Turkey.[4][5]
