Kosovo’s Minister of Culture, Youth, and Sports, Hajrullah Çeku, announced that work on football facilities will begin in the near future. The planned projects have been approved, and investments will soon commence. The cities of Peć and Ferizaj will have new venues, while Prizren and Vushtrri will see their existing stadiums refurbished.

Çeku promised that these cities would get state-of-the-art football facilities, with the total investment exceeding €50 million. The stadium projects are already completed. Peć and Ferizaj will each receive €19 million, Prizren €13 million, and Vushtrri will get €5 million for renovations, with 20% of the €5 million funded by the local community.

“We are fully committed to implementing the five-year plan for improving football infrastructure in the country”, said Çeku. These investments are part of a broader five-year plan to consolidate football infrastructure and prepare for the 21st Mediterranean Games in Pristina. Thanks to these investments and the momentum of ongoing works, Kosovo will have at least four top-tier stadiums ready in two years. According to the Ministry of Culture, Youth, and Sports (MKRS), four out of many planned projects are expected to be completed before the Mediterranean Games in 2030. The initial project includes 24 sports facilities. Ten will be renovated, including the Youth and Sports Palace. There will be four new constructions, including a national stadium, a pool-court complex, and a shooting range. Five temporary infrastructure projects and five others in progress, including the Adem Jashari Stadium in Mitrovica and the Gjilan stadium, said Prime Minister Albin Kurti.
