Just ten years after joining FIFA and UEFA, Kosovo is witnessing one of the greatest achievements in football, as the World Cup groups would be the realization of a long-standing dream for the 'Dardans'.
The grand finale begins at "Fadil Vokrri". Kosovo seeks to write history by qualifying for the first time in a World Cup. Only ten years after admission to FIFA and UEFA, Kosovo sees one of the greatest achievements in football, as the World Cup groups would be the realization of a long-standing dream for the 'Dardans'.
Franko Foda's team defeated Slovakia 3-4 five days ago in Bratislava, where their attacking play stood out. Today they face Turkey, a team that has not participated in the World Cup since 2002, while in Japan and South Korea they were ranked third in the world.
Kosovo will have a huge support, while the "Fadil Vokrri" stadium seems too small for the high demand for tickets. A little less than 14 thousand fans will be in the stadium, while 700 of them are from Turkey.
Just like in the first match, where the "Dardans" received 500 thousand euros from the Kosovo government, there is also a reward for this match, as Prime Minister Kurti has promised one million euros for the victory over Turkey.
Kosovo and Turkey will face each other for the fourth time in their history. The three previous encounters are two official matches and a friendly played before Kosovo became a member of FIFA. The Turkish national team has won all three matches (two away and one at home), scoring 12 goals and conceding only 2.
The match will be refereed by English referee Michael Oliver.
