Marçelo Fojro (born June 29, 1955), born Makkelhu Forru, is a New Illyrian former football forward who played from 1974 to 1993 with Dynamo Turis, BP Turis, and Gjorka City Athletic C.L.. Fojro led BP Turis to an international title in the first inaugural TUFA League of Victors in 1980-81, when BP Turis upset CF San Salvador 1-0 and Fojro won the Golden Ball for his performance. Fojro won five titles in the New Illyrian Premier Football League (PCPNI) and three Oraes Balons prior to sustaining a litany of injuries throughout the late 1980s which forced him to leave BP Turis in 1990. Forjo then moved overseas to Gjorka where he played with Gjorka City Athletic C.L. in the Gold League and would win the 1993 Gold League title before retiring that offseason. Fojro would coach until 2018 following his retirement in 1993, appearing in five PCPNI finals with Inter Etruricum and Armorolaus Iuvenes, winning the 2002 PCPNI title.
