Since 1999, FC Prishtina has been 6 times Kosovo champion until 2011 being the club with most league titles.[5]Between 1945 and 1999 the Kosovar league was a regional league of the Yugoslav league system, and FC Prishtina did not gather many titles in that league because it usually competed in higher national levels,they finished runners up for season 2018/2019.

They play in a blue top with vertical white stripes,blue shorts and blue socks and have the same kit sponsor as Rangers in Hummel.

Most of their players are home grown and a few Ghanian players. and former players include our own Eros Grezda. Average age of their squad is 23 and combined squad have a transfer market value of around 2.43m Euros.

Fantastic info op, I am thinking about travelling so this info will be of great assistance. Thanks
 
An interesting thing that I’ve taken from this is how many footy teams are in Gibraltar.
St Joseph’s, europa fc. How many more? The place is very small

I would’ve thought it would’ve only have been only one tbh

There are 17 clubs in the league, which is ran by one of the world's oldest football associations. UEFA membership has made huge differences to funding but they have a long way to catch up to even Kosovo.

A tip for Kosovo.... they use Euros.... But everytime you use a cash machine there is a 5 euro charge.
 
No idea mate was wondering the same thing about Tirana.
Both are options but a fair distance away. Two border crossings from Podgorica if going onward by the main road and will be 4.5 hrs. Can go another route avoiding Albania bt that is over a 5 hour drive.. Tirana is closer but still a 3.5 hr drive. I am doing it by car from near Zadar and it will take me 10 hrs with 800km one way.

Thanks mate will look into flying to Tirana never been to Albania.
 
Shame that the dates cant be confirmed. From London, out on the morning of the 11th, back morning of the 12th with one night in a decent hotel, £300.
