Kosovo football is not in the hands of one person as football in Albania. With all the problems and political interference still Kosovo FA has shown they are years ahead of Albania in the terms of competence.
That's what I mean , they are far ahead of us in both regards . We've been stuck in corruption since the fall of communism , they are doing something about it while being a much younger nation.

Kosovo’s FA president is literally in prison for corruption as we speak.
As explained above it’s not for corruption and they’ve managed to get their talents to play for them instead of shunning them and forcing them to play for others

Also endri cekici needs to be in the team purely on his set pieces . Since we’re so bad attacking , having that element is huge

Corruption and "Kanosja" are not exactly same things i believe it's important to keep the facts straight. It says a lot about rule of law in both countries, president of Kosovo FA Agim Ademi is sentenced for a fight that has nothing to do with football(wasn't president during that time) while Albania has officially most fixed championship on the world, the Albanian "champion" is banned for 10 years on european competitions and still Duka wasn't even questioned by any albanian prosecutors.

It's irrelevant if his crimes weren't football related(I believe he was fresh in football so not like he had time) but this goes to show you how easily shady characters get into football. Assuming any place in the Balkans is clean of corruption in football is pure delusion. When successful footballing countries like Croatia, Serbia, etc are complaining about it then you can just imagine how it is in Kosovo(and how it will get worse as more money flows).

No they didn't. That's pure bullshit. I don't see Granit Xhaka, Shaqiri, Januzaj, etc playing for Kosovo. They just got the leftovers from other nations and unhappy players.

Either way that has nothing to do with corruption even if they really did get the best players. That's a different discussion.

Literally impossible for them players to play for them . Wasn’t allowed by UEFA otherwise guaranteed you would’ve seen the Xhaka brothers switch over

It was absolutely possible and Valon Berisha and others proved this... It was a matter of desire.

The Swiss-Kosovars chose to play in EURO 16 instead and so did the Kosovars who played for Albania and were called up to the Euros. Those who didn't like Rashica, Shala and Rrahmani went to Kosovo. It's very simple dude.

They had the chance to play for Kosovo and decided not to.
