Kosovo means 'The Blackbird Field' for a battle of 1389

The Spanish team plays today in Kosovo, a young state that was founded in 2008 when it became independent from Serbia. Officially known as the Republic of Kosovo, it borders Montenegro, Albania, North Macedonia, and the Central Serbia region, and is made up of the Kosovo and Metojia regions.

The government of Kosovo, in whose territory ethnic Albanians predominate, unilaterally declared its independence from Serbia on February 17, 2008, with the support of the United States and most of the countries of the European Union. Kosovo is recognized as a sovereign state by 90 of the 193 members of the United Nations. Serbia, Russia, China, Spain and most of the countries of America, Asia and Africa do not recognize the Republic of Kosovo.

The territory of Kosovo is considered by Serbia as the historical cradle of the Serbian people, although today 88% of its inhabitants are of Albanian origin. While the Serbs call it Kosovo, the Albanians call it Kosova. In Serbian, Kosovo means 'blackbird field', the site of the battle between the army of Serbian prince Lazar and the forces of the Ottoman Empire (1389) that ended with the defeat of the former.

Kosovo is a secular state with no state religion, although 92% of the inhabitants declare themselves Muslim.

Kosovo's economy is one of the poorest in Europe, with an estimated per capita income of 6,500 euros, unemployment is very high, between 30 and 35% and there is a notable underground economy associated, above all, with the smuggling of gasoline, tobacco and cement.

The Kosovo Football Association was admitted in 2016 by UEFA FIFA, and therefore your team can take part in competitions such as the Soccer World Cup.

The Kosovo Super League has been played since the 1999-00 season. The league is made up of 10 teams, with Pristina being its last champion and also the most awarded club with 8 titles. Besa Pejé, Drita and Feronikeli have three titles each.
