FFK leaders welcome FC 2 Korriku delegation, congratulate them on success at ‘Gothia Cup’

The President of the Football Federation of Kosovo, Agim Ademi, together with Vice-President Bakir Burri and Executive Committee member Samir Ujkani, today welcomed the delegation of FC 2 Korriku and its U15 players, following their outstanding success at the prestigious international Gothia Cup 2026 tournament in Sweden.

At the meeting, FFK officials congratulated the players, coaches and club staff on their excellent performance, highly praising FC 2 Korriku’s organization and professional work. For years, the club has been among the most important contributors to the development of youth football in Kosovo.

President Ademi emphasized that the team’s achievement at the Gothia Cup is proof of the great potential of Kosovan football. Of the 252 teams competing in the B15 category, FC 2 Korriku finished among the top eight, putting together an impressive campaign with five consecutive wins and demonstrating a high level of sporting ability.

Special recognition was also given to the promotion of national culture and identity. FC 2 Korriku was named the winner of the “Best Outfit Award 2026” for appearing in traditional Albanian clothing at the tournament’s opening ceremony, ensuring that Kosovo’s name was represented with dignity among teams from 79 countries around the world.

As a result of this special presentation, 18 FC 2 Korriku players will have the opportunity to take part in the next edition of the Gothia Cup free of charge, further testament to the high regard in which the club was held by the tournament organizers.

“We are pleased with the successes you have achieved. Knowing your club’s organization and high standards, this result is no coincidence. The Gothia Cup has been held for many years, and finishing among the top eight teams out of 252 participants is a great achievement. In addition to football, you have also shown a high level in promoting our culture through traditional clothing, for which you were also rewarded with free participation for 18 players in the next edition. We thank you for representing Kosovo with distinction and assure you that the FFK’s support for the development of youth football will continue,” President Ademi said.

On behalf of FC 2 Korriku, Shaban Baholli thanked President Ademi for the welcome and for the ongoing support the Football Federation of Kosovo has given the club.

“We thank you for this welcome and for the support you have always given us. It is a pleasure to have people close to us who contribute to the development of football in Kosovo,” Baholli said.
