Early years
Gogorza started playing football when he was four years old at B 1903. After a few years, he switched to local club BSV. Here, the offensive player played until the age of eight before moving on to Lyngby BK's youth department.

He spent five years at Lyngby, after which he returned to the Copenhagen football environment to play at U13, U14 and finally U15 for F.C. Copenhagen. Halfway through his time as an U15 player, Gogorza felt it was time to try something new. He then joined FC Midtjylland at the age of 14.

In January 2024, 17-year-old Gogorza traveled with the first team to Portugal for a training camp and from there, it wasn't long before he made his official debut; On February 18, 2024, Gorgoza came on for the final 11 minutes of the Danish Superliga match against Brøndby IF. At 17 years and 144 days, he became the third youngest Midtjylland player ever to make his debut.
