He was called up at Albania national under-19 football team by coach Arjan Bellaj to participate in the 2016 UEFA European Under-19 Championship qualification from 12–17 November 2015,[6] but since Rey Manaj was called up at the Albania national football team by coach Gianni De Biasi, Bardhi was called up as a replacement for Manaj at the Albania national under-21 football team by coach Redi Jupi for the 2017 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualification match against Portugal U21 & Liechtenstein U21 on 12 & 16 November 2015.[7][8]
