Taulant Hodaj’s latest move, openly supporting and calling for intervention from the MKRS to prevent the FFK Assembly convened for February 5, 2026, from being held, clearly shows that he is waging a battle against the football institution.
Today, Hodaj is one of the FFK’s biggest critics, claiming that the FFK statute has major shortcomings and is not aligned with the Law on Sport of the Republic of Kosovo.
However, Ballkani.info has obtained an email that Hodaj himself sent to Minister Çeku in 2023, in which he wrote that the FFK had met all the required criteria and was aligned with the Law on Sport, and that the MKRS should license it.
Today, instead of sports institutions operating on the basis of the rules, procedures and autonomy guaranteed to them by international sport, Hodaj has chosen the path of political pressure to address a personal grievance.
UEFA has always been clear: politics must stay away from football. Any attempt to involve the minister or state structures in matters within the jurisdiction of sports federations is not only wrong, but potentially harmful to Kosovo sport as a whole. Such a step risks sanctions, damaged relations and a loss of international credibility.
What makes this case even more scandalous is that Hodaj presents himself as a victim. If there was any injustice, it should have been pursued through the competent sports bodies.
What is strange is that Minister Çeku’s ministry also copied Hodaj on its latest letter to UEFA, in which it requests clarification about the FFK statute, even though Hodaj has not been part of the FFK for years. The minister should have known this.
That Hodaj considered the FFK statute to be in order and that it should be licensed by the MKRS is also confirmed by Avni Haxhiu, a representative of the Trepça football club. On the Kampionët program on Kanal10, he told Hodaj that they had been present together when Hodaj told the MKRS that the statute was aligned and met all the criteria.
