The Football Federation of Kosovo (FFK) (Albanian: Federata e Futbollit e Kosovës; Serbian: Fudbalski Savez Kosova) is the governing body of football in Kosovo, with headquarters in Pristina. The Football Federation of Kosovo was established in 1946 and is currently headed by Fadil Vokrri. It organizes eight competitions of football in Kosovo:
The Football Federation of Kosovo also organizes the Kosovo national football team that is currently coached by Albert Bunjaku.
The Football Federation of Kosovo was rejected membership in FIFA and denied right to play any friendly matches as it was deemed it does not comply with article 10 of the FIFA statutes, that only "an independent state recognized by the international community" may be admitted into FIFA. During a visit to Serbia in March 2009, UEFA head Michel Platini reiterated that the so-called Kosovo national football team could not join UEFA. Platini said, "Politics is not my job, and UEFA honors its statute, which is clear: a state that does not belong to the U.N. cannot become a member of the organization, but I would like for us to find a way for young people in Kosovo to play football."
