FFK invited by the Italian Football Federation to the Taranto 2026 Mediterranean Games, but, strangely, was not notified by the Olympic Committee of Kosovo

The Football Federation of Kosovo has received an official invitation to participate in the “Mediterranean Games Taranto 2026”, which will be held in Taranto in August and September.

The invitation was sent by the Italian Football Federation and includes Kosovo’s youth teams, in both the men’s and women’s competitions. This represents a good opportunity to develop young talent and for the country to be represented internationally at an important sporting event.

However, according to sources, the Olympic Committee of Kosovo did not forward this invitation to the FFK, nor did it provide the relevant materials related to the organization and participation procedures. This situation has created uncertainty and could directly affect the teams’ preparations.

If this matter is not clarified in time, there is a risk that Kosovo will miss an important opportunity to compete on an international stage, where countries from across the Mediterranean region usually take part.

It remains to be seen in the coming days whether there will be an institutional response and coordination between the parties to ensure Kosovo’s participation in this important sporting event.
