Ademi: I thanked Trump for his support for Kosovo; he told me a few interesting things

The president of the Football Federation of Kosovo, Agim Ademi, has shared details of the meeting he held with the President of the United States, Donald Trump, during the 2026 World Cup final.

Speaking on the SportCast show, Ademi said the conversation was not focused on football, but on Kosovo, stressing that the meeting was an opportunity to thank Trump for the support the US and he personally have given the state of Kosovo.

“I always say that Kosovo is what is appreciated, not just the individual. The individual is the one who represents the state or federation. I greeted President Trump and thanked him for everything America and he personally have done for Kosovo. He said a few things that I regret were not recorded, because they would have been very interesting. So, since they weren’t recorded, I don’t want to talk about them,” Ademi said.

The head of the FFK also revealed that FIFA president Gianni Infantino introduced him to Trump in glowing terms, praising his work leading Kosovo’s football.

According to Ademi, Infantino told Trump that he is a federation president who works with dedication and passion to develop football, a compliment that, he said, the FIFA chief has also made during visits to Kosovo.

“Infantino explained my work and said that I am a leader who works with passion and a lot for football. Then President Trump said: ‘All right, I’m glad you’re a great leader.’ That was all,” Ademi recounted.

In conclusion, the FFK president stressed that the respect shown to him at meetings at the highest international level is, first and foremost, respect for Kosovo, adding that the country is gaining ever more recognition and credibility on the international stage through sport.
