Infantino congratulates Ademi: You are a small country, but extraordinary work is being done here; the government should work with UEFA and FIFA to invest in infrastructure

FIFA President Gianni Infantino has once again praised the Football Federation of Kosovo and Agim Ademi for the extraordinary work being done here.

He said that Kosovo is a small country, but that work is being done here that is worthy of admiration. In his view, football’s contribution to raising the image of this country is very, very great.

“During my meeting with my friend Agim Ademi, I told him that extraordinary work is being done here. We see referees making great progress, we see a national team with extraordinary talent, and if they are not worked with, that talent will not come to light—but that is happening here, and the national team has made great strides,” Infantino said, adding that in the future the Government should cooperate with UEFA and FIFA to invest in infrastructure.

“Kosovo is a small country, a young country that is being built, so football’s contribution is very important. And what the Federation has done is enormous, and I congratulate it. I think the next phase should involve your country’s Government working together with UEFA and FIFA to invest in infrastructure,” Infantino said.

So far, the country’s institutions have done very little when it comes to sports infrastructure. The FFK has helped clubs renovate auxiliary stadiums through various projects, while the main stadiums fall under the responsibility of the country’s government. For this reason, FIFA’s number one has called on it to seize the opportunity and cooperate with UEFA and FIFA in order to secure funding and invest in sports infrastructure.
