Kosovo welcomes Spain, Ademi: They are as free as in their own home

The President of the Kosovo Football Federation, Agim Ademi, has said that the Spanish national football team is welcome in Kosovo and that the Spaniards will feel free as at home.

A day before the meeting in the framework of the qualifications for the "Qatar 2022" World Cup, Ademi said that he expects the "Dardana" fans to show the right attitude.

The Spaniards have already left for Kosovo.

"Today I have the pleasure to welcome to the Republic of Kosovo the expedition of the Spanish National Team led by the president of the Spanish Federation, Luis Rubiales, who is also the vice-president of UEFA. Spain is one of the best teams in Europe and the world and will be welcomed in Kosovo, where over the years there have been many fans in our country for the game and the character shown on the green field. They will feel free and at home. Also, I believe that the few "Dardans" who will be lucky enough to see this match in the stadium, but also all those who will be in front of the television screens, will enjoy the game that will be shown by both national teams. On this occasion, I once again ask the public to understand the pandemic situation and the small number of spectators, as this time again based on government measures, only 10 percent of the stadium's capacity will be usable and we must respect that. in detail the UEFA protocol, and here are included all the participants of the match, the team expedition, the organizational staff, the officials and the "Dardans" fans, whose support our Dardans need more than ever on the field so that eventually we will write history in the match against Spain. Also, I invite the "Dardans" fans for a correct but at the same time fiery attitude, as they should be our 12th player tomorrow. Once again, a warm welcome to President Rubiales and his team", said Agim Ademi in his welcome message to Spain.

Kosovo and Spain meet on Wednesday evening as part of the qualifiers for the World Cup. Both are part of Group B. Spain leads the group with 10 points, while Kosovo is third with four. In the first match, Spain won 3:1.

The match has aroused even greater interest because Spain does not recognize Kosovo as a state and because the official authorities of Spain have continued with unequal treatment of Kosovo as far as the presentation is concerned. The same has happened with the Spanish media, which maximally avoid mentioning Kosovo.
