Ademi’s full post:

Dear sports journalists,

On the occasion of World Sports Journalists Day, I am pleased, on my own behalf and on behalf of the Executive Committee of the Football Federation of Kosovo, to extend my warmest wishes to you and thank you for your dedication, professionalism and ongoing work in covering football and sport in our country.

Sports journalism is not only about reporting results or events. It is the documentation of history, the conveyance of emotions and the building of the collective memory of every success, challenge and moment that marks our football.

In recent years, we have experienced many emotions together. We have celebrated important victories, faced disappointments, but above all, we have witnessed the continued growth of Kosovo’s football. You have always been there to cover these moments professionally, bringing them closer to fans and the public.

This year, we came very close to realizing a great dream. We were just 90 minutes away from taking part in the 2026 World Cup. This would have been a historic achievement and a source of pride for our people, but also an extraordinary opportunity for you, sports journalists, to cover Kosovo’s historic journey on the biggest stage in world football up close. Although this dream narrowly remained unrealized, I am convinced that the day when Kosovo will be part of a World Cup or European Championship is not far off.

Our society needs free, professional and responsible media. Reasoned and constructive criticism is always welcome, because it helps us improve and move forward. But it is just as important that work, dedication and achievements receive the recognition they deserve.

The Football Federation of Kosovo will continue to be a partner to the media, fostering cooperation, transparency and mutual respect, convinced that only together can we continue to develop and promote our football.

I thank you for the commitment and passion you show every day. I wish you good health, success in your careers and many more great sporting moments.

Happy World Sports Journalists Day!
