A landmark event in Kosovar sports history unfolded on August 8th in 2018 as the newly refurbished Fadil Vokrri Stadium welcomed fans for the first time, proudly inaugurating its role as the home ground for the Kosovo national football team. As a host for numerous competitive games, including Nations League games, Euro qualifiers, and international friendlies, the revitalized stadium stands as a testament to the resilience and aspiration of Kosovar football.

Comprehensively renovated in compliance with FIFA international standards, the stadium boasts a capacity of 13,500 spectators, echoing the thriving passion for football in Kosovo. The facilities elevate the stadium to international standards, paving the way for hosting more prestigious events in the future.

In a fitting tribute to a stalwart of Kosovar football, the stadium was renamed in June 2018 to honor the late Fadil Vokrri. An iconic figure in Kosovo’s football narrative, Vokrri was a distinguished footballer who later served as the president of the Football Federation of Kosovo. His extraordinary contribution to the sport, both on and off the field, was instrumental in shaping the Federation into an independent entity post-Kosovo’s declaration of independence.

His profound impact on the sport is aptly encapsulated in the naming of the stadium, encapsulating a dual testament to his legacy and the unyielding spirit of Kosovar football.

The stadium’s opening marks a significant milestone in the ongoing narrative of Kosovo’s footballing journey, proudly announcing its readiness to stage more memorable games and continue enhancing the country’s sporting reputation on a global stage.
