Infantino: Today, nobody wants to play against Kosovo; they are afraid of losing

FIFA President Gianni Infantino has praised the development of Kosovan football over the past decade, highlighting that Kosovo has now become an opponent nobody wants to face.

“If we look at how much football in Kosovo has developed over the last ten years, since joining UEFA and FIFA, it is something extraordinary. Today, nobody wants to come and play against Kosovo because they are afraid they will lose. The team is strong and you have fans everywhere. The work being done is excellent,” Infantino said during his appearance on “FFK Podcast”.

The leading figure in world football added that he feels honored and moved to have received an award from Kosovo President Vjosa Osmani. He reiterated that he dedicated the award to Fadil Vokrri, the former president of the Football Federation of Kosovo, whom he said embodies the resilience and strength of the people of Kosovo.
