Armend Thaqi, “Star of the Week,” years are just numbers to him

The Football Federation of Kosovo, in cooperation with the Superliga’s official sponsor, Albi Mall, continues to present the traditional “Star of the Week” award, dedicated to the most outstanding footballer of the week in the Kosovar football Superliga.

For the seventeenth week of this season, the award has been presented to SC Gjilani footballer Armend Thaqi.

He put in a very good individual performance for his team over the 90 minutes of the match, scoring a spectacular goal that equalized the score in the city derby against FC Drita, which ended 1:1.

After receiving this award, Thaqi said he was happy to be recognized as the player of the week

“The city derby must never be missed, and I’m happy that at least we have taken a point. We did not start the championship very well, although the club has made major investments and has had very good organization. The link that failed this year was us, the footballers, who have not managed to gel well with one another, and we must take responsibility. We have now started to recover with the new coach and must not drop any more points,” Thaçi stressed

“On an individual level, I am very happy to have been named ‘Star of the Week,’ and this is dedicated to all the footballers and, above all, the fans, because this match in particular is very important to them and is played for them,” Thaçi added for the FFK’s official website.
