Today I had the pleasure of welcoming referee Florentina Kallaba, who was part of the refereeing team at the historic first Futsal World Cup final, held in the Philippines.

This was the first edition of the World Cup, marking a new chapter for world futsal. The final between Brazil and Portugal, played in front of more than 5,000 spectators at the “PhilSports Arena” in Manila, was officiated by a team of referees from four continents, and among them, with great dignity, was our referee, Florentina Kallaba.

Her participation in an event of this level, alongside prominent international names, is clear evidence of the professionalism, work and dedication that our referees have demonstrated for many years. It is also a significant recognition that FIFA gives to the FFK and Kosovo’s refereeing sector.

I congratulated Florentina on the honour she has brought to Kosovo and on her continued contribution to raising the standard of officiating in futsal. She is an inspiring example for all the girls and boys aspiring to develop in this noble profession.

Kosovo continues to be present and respected on the international stage, and we are achieving this together thanks to dedicated people like Florentina Kallaba.
