Ademi on the Nations League: In every competition we take part in, we aim to qualify

Kosovo will begin its new Nations League campaign in September, where it will face Austria, Israel and the Republic of Ireland.

FFK President Agim Ademi, in an interview with RTK Radio Kosova, expects Kosovo to be competitive in this group and to aim for strong results.

“None of the teams we have there is an underdog or a team that has not proven itself,” Ademi said.

He assessed Kosovo’s opponents, singling out Austria while also noting Israel and Ireland.

“Austria has played in the European Championship and, most recently, in the World Cup; Israel is strong too, and of course Ireland as well…”

Despite the opponents’ level, Ademi said Kosovo is not entering the competition with modest ambitions.

“We are a team that always aims for results and seeks the highest possible finish. In fact, from now on, in every competition we take part in, we aim to qualify, regardless of the group, while keeping in mind and relying on the work of our coaching staff and the quality and form of the players,” Ademi said.

He said Kosovo coach Franco Foda is closely following potential players for the national team.

“The coach is always here; as you have seen recently, he is in Kosovo nonstop. He has followed all the matches and all the players,” Ademi added.

He said Kosovo has a large pool of talent, which, in his view, also increases the chances of good results in the future.
