Bilal Velija (born 22 October 1982) is a North Macedonia former professional footballer who played as a defender.

Career

Velija joined Olimpik Baku during the 2008 winter transfer window, helping them finish second in the 2007–08 season before leaving the club in June 2008.

In March 2009, Velija signed a two-year contract with Løv-Ham of the Adeccoligaen. Velija's time in Norway came to an end in 2010, when Løv-Ham decided to return to a semi-professional club, therefore releasing their full-time players, which included Velija.

In February 2014, Velija went on trial with Veikkausliiga side VPS, playing for them twice in the League Cup before returning to Gostivar. In April of the same year, Velija signed a six-month contract with Finnish Second Tier side JJK.

Velija joined Musan Salama of the Finnish third tier Kakkonen in 2015.
