Good news for football, Agim Ademi: First floodlights arrive, three stadiums to get lights

Kosovo’s football infrastructure is receiving a significant boost ahead of the start of the new competitive season. The President of the Football Federation of Kosovo, Agim Ademi, has confirmed that the floodlights for the first three stadiums have now arrived in Kosovo.

In a statement to Kosovapress’s “Sportcast” podcast, the head of Kosovo’s football governing body revealed details of this project, which is expected to give Superleague matches a new look.

Ademi announced that work has entered the concrete phase and that the necessary lighting equipment has now arrived.

“It is a concrete project. The lights have already arrived in Skenderaj, and they have arrived in Klinë and Gjilan. These are the first three stadiums to be fitted with floodlights, and then I believe three more stadiums will be done, as far as the work that municipalities and clubs need to carry out is concerned. As for the lights, they are ready; the floodlights have already arrived. We have them here for these first three stadiums; those for the other three stadiums will be dispatched within 10 days,” said Ademi, confirming that Drenica, Dukagjini and Drita of Gjilani will soon be able to play their matches in the “Bajram Aliu” stadium in Skenderaj, the “18 Qershori” stadium in Klinë and the one with artificial turf in Gjilan in the evening as well.

In addition to improving infrastructure, the head of the FFK stressed that the federation has completed all administrative and organizational preparations for the start of the new championship. He underlined that competition regulations are reviewed and updated after every season to prevent any anomalies.

“We are ready on our administrative and organizational side. I hope the clubs are ready too and that we maintain an upward trajectory, as befits the highest-ranked league in the region,” Ademi concluded.

Improved lighting at Superleague stadiums will enable clubs to hold matches in the evening, something that is also expected to significantly increase fan attendance in the stands, especially during the summer.
