Drita wins fifth title in its history

Drita has defended its title in Kosovo's Super League. 

On Saturday, on the artificial turf pitch in Gjilan, Drita beat Ballkani 2:0 and secured the fifth title in the club's history, with three rounds remaining in the championship. Besnik Krasniqi and Abdoul Karim Dante scored the winning goals. 

Ballkani was in a tight race with Drita until a few rounds ago. But the defeat to Llapi in Suharekë in the previous round and Drita's win over Prishtina e Re created a large gap. 

Drita won the title with 66 points, 11 more than second-place Ballkani. 

Drita won its first title in the 2002/03 season. It then triumphed in the 2017/18, 2019/20 and 2024/25 seasons.

Coach Zekirija Ramadani also won his fifth Kosovo Super League title. He previously triumphed with Trepça ’89, Feronikeli, Prishtina and twice with Drita. 

Drita and Ballkani have dominated the last five seasons in Kosovo's top flight. 

The team from Suharekë won the Kosovo Super League title three times in a row, in the 2021/22, 2022/23 and 2023/24 seasons. Drita then won two titles in a row. 

Drita will compete in the first qualifying round of the Champions League as champions.

As champions, they began their campaign in this same stage of the competition last season. They went all the way to the knockout phase play-offs of the Conference League, where they were eliminated by Slovenia's Celje.
