FFK publishes FIFA letter: We confirm the statutory amendments and call for an electoral process free from interference

The International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) and the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) have officially confirmed that the Football Federation of Kosovo (FFK) has made the statutory amendments in full compliance with the principles and recommendations of FIFA and UEFA, as well as with the Law on Sport and the requirements of the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport (MKRS).

In a joint letter addressed to FFK President Agim Ademi, the two international institutions noted that the statutory amendments were the result of a comprehensive and coordinated consultation process between FIFA, UEFA, the FFK and the MKRS.

The letter also recalls that representatives of FIFA and UEFA were present at all FFK assemblies where these amendments were approved, with the aim of ensuring governance standards.

FIFA and UEFA stress the importance of respecting the principle of institutional independence, underscoring that the FFK electoral process must take place without any undue interference by third parties.

According to them, matters relating to the federation’s governance and membership fall within the exclusive competence of the FFK’s statutory bodies.

FIFA and UEFA have also confirmed that their representatives will be present at the FFK Electoral Assembly, which is scheduled to be held on 5 February 2026, to observe the conduct of the process in accordance with the FFK Statute.
