Team history

Kosovo became a member of UEFA and FIFA in 2016. Their senior team's competitive record is still relatively short, but successive campaigns have brought them close to a first major finals appearance.

Kosovo reached the EURO 2020 play-off semi-finals and went a stage further in the 2026 World Cup play-offs. A 1–0 defeat by Türkiye in the final in Pristina left them one match short of qualification. Players such as Amir Rrahmani and Vedat Muriqi have been central to the development of this independent competitive identity.
