Wikipedia - Football Superleague of Kosovo
The Football Superleague of Kosovo (Albanian: Superliga e Futbollit të Kosovës), officially known as the ALBI MALL Superleague of Kosovo (Albanian: ALBI MALL Superliga e Kosovës) for sponsorship reasons, is the top division of the men's football league system in Kosovo. It is organised by the Football Federation of Kosovo (FFK) and, as of the 2024–25 season, is contested by ten clubs playing a 36-match schedule in which each club meets every other side four times. The two lowest-placed teams are relegated to the Kosovo First League, with two clubs promoted in their place.
The competition traces its roots to the Kosovo Province League, founded in 1945 as a regional division within the Yugoslav football pyramid, and to the parallel Independent League of Kosovo, which Kosovar Albanians organised outside state structures between 1991 and the Kosovo War of 1998–99. After 1999 the FFK re-established a unified national championship under the current Superliga name.
Kosovo was admitted to UEFA and FIFA in May 2016, enabling Superleague clubs to enter European competitions. Since then, the Superleague champions have qualified for the preliminary and qualifying rounds of the UEFA Champions League, while other high-placed clubs and the domestic cup winners enter the UEFA Europa Conference League. Prishtina are the most successful club with 11 league titles, while Drita won their fourth championship in 2024–25.
In UEFA's association coefficient rankings the Superleague sits in the mid-30s among European top divisions, reflecting improving results by Kosovar clubs in continental competition.
History
Early organised football
Before World War II, clubs from the territory of present-day Kosovo took part in regional competitions organised by the Belgrade Football Subassociation within the Football Association of Yugoslavia. During the period of Italian and later German occupation, when most of Kosovo was attached to the Albanian Kingdom, local teams were integrated into 1942 Albanian National Championship.
Kosovo Province League
In 1945, following Kosovo's reintegration into socialist Yugoslavia, the Kosovo Province League (Albanian: Liga e Provincës së Kosovës) was established as a regional division within the Yugoslav football league system. It brought together leading Kosovar clubs that were not competing at federal level, and its champions could progress into the all-Yugoslav tiers. Throughout the socialist period the standard and structure of the league fluctuated, with Kosovar teams occasionally reaching the Yugoslav First or Second Leagues but most clubs remaining at provincial level.
Independent League of Kosovo
In 1991, amid rising ethnic tensions and the removal of Kosovar Albanians from public institutions, the FFK began organising a parallel, unrecognised competition known as the Independent League of Kosovo (Albanian: Liga e Pavarur e Kosovës). In the summer of that year, after Kosovar clubs were effectively pushed out of the Yugoslav league system, local officials reconstituted the Football Federation of Kosovo as an independent body under president Agim Bytyçi and launched the first separate Republic of Kosova championship. Eight of the ten fixtures in the opening round, played on 13–14 September 1991, went ahead on schedule despite difficult conditions, with the remaining matches completed later.
Matches in the Independent League were often staged on school pitches and improvised village grounds, as Albanian clubs had been denied access to municipal stadiums, and were seen by participants as a way of maintaining sporting life and national identity under conditions of repression. The league operated until the escalation of the Kosovo War in 1998–99, when regular competition became impossible. In 2011 the FFK marked two decades of these parallel structures by publishing the volume Futbolli 1991–2011: 20 vjet mëvetësim, which documents the independent championships and related activities.
Post-war Superleague
After the end of the conflict, the FFK re-established a unified league structure in 1999, with the top division taking the name Superliga e Kosovës. Serbian clubs from northern municipalities continued to participate in the Serbian football system, while the Superleague became the de facto national championship recognised by the FFK.
In the 2000s and early 2010s, Prishtina, Feronikeli and Drenica were among the leading clubs, with Drita and Gjilani also emerging as title contenders. League champions could not enter UEFA competitions until Kosovo was admitted as a member association in 2016.
Following UEFA and FIFA recognition, Kosovar teams began appearing regularly in European qualifiers. In June 2018, Drita defeated Santa Coloma in the Champions League preliminary round, recording the first victory by a Kosovan club in the competition. In 2022–23, Ballkani became the first Kosovar side to reach the group stage of a UEFA tournament, qualifying for the Europa Conference League group phase.
