The millions for sport from sponsorship agreements have increased significantly compared with 2024. Last year, revenues were just over 20 million euros.

FFK received more than it had a year earlier. In 2024, the Football Federation’s revenues were 1 million and 120 thousand euros. FBK saw a slight decline. In 2024, its revenues amounted to 834 thousand euros.
In 2024, football club Prishtina topped the list with 1 million and 117 thousand and 500 euros. Basketball club Trepça had sponsorship revenues of 1 million and 113 thousand euros in 2024. Only Sigal Prishtina and Golden Eagle Ylli came close to the one-million mark.

And last year, three clubs surpassed the figure of 1.2 million euros, all of them basketball clubs. Ylli, Trepça and Sigal Prishtina recorded record revenues. Football club Prishtina also saw a slight increase, reaching 1 million and 133 thousand and 500 euros.

All these millions come from the state budget. The law allows businesses to allocate to sport the money they would otherwise have to pay in profit tax.
