The Bajram Aliu is a multi-use stadium in Skenderaj, Kosovo.[a] It is currently used mostly for football matches and is the home ground of Drenica of the Kosovar Superliga. The stadium holds 9,000 people.[1] It was built prior to the Kosovo War.[2]
After a 25-year attempt to join the UEFA (and by extension FIFA), Kosovo was permitted to join in 2016, which opened them up to much-needed financial sponsorship that would be put into renovating and restoring existing football facilities.[3]
Notes and references
Notes:
| a. | ^ The political status of Kosovo is disputed. Having unilaterally declared independence from Serbia in 2008, Kosovo is formally recognised as a sovereign state by 101 UN member states (with another 13 states recognising it at some point but then withdrawing their recognition) and 92 states not recognizing it, while Serbia continues to claim it as a part of its own territory. |
