Kosovo have two national stadia: Olympic Stadium Adem Jashari (which holds 18,000) and Pristina City Stadium (16,000). The Europa Point stadium has received a lot of criticism due to potential environmental impact. Latest talk is of a smaller (4-5000) stadium elsewhere, being funded by UEFA. http://www.gbc.gi/news/uefa-will-fund-100-new-national-stadium-says-beiso-32220 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Clyde was at Faro, had a good time anaw that but would have preferred to go back to Gib. Those monkeys make me piss Kosovo is on the list of wanted matches now.

Clyde1998 Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Kosovo and Gibraltar have been added to the qualifiers now. Gibraltar are in Group H with Belgium, Bosnia, Greece, Estonia and Cyprus and Kosovo are in Group I with Croatia, Iceland, Ukraine, Turkey and Finland. UEFA have determined that Kosovo cannot play against Serbia (unsurprisingly) or Bosnia for security reasons, adding to the list of countries that can't play each other.

There was a Belgian paper last month saying Adnan Januzaj had agreed to switch, but then the next day the player came out and said he was not interested and was committed to Belgium. Granit Xhaka said he was open to switching this week when he was interviewed by ITV ahead of the Switzerland v Albania game, but his brother who was also interviewed did not comment on it.

thewolf_1980 Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 I presume we will be reassessing the UEFA borders now that Kosovo, Gibraltar and (potentially) Crimea are being allowed in? The likes of Kazakhstan, Israel et al should be papped over to the Asian federation, given that they actually reside there. UEFA is becoming full to the gunwales with countries now.

Agreed, but it's nothing that Team GB can't sort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't that three qualifying groups in-a-row where BiH, Belgium and Cypurs have been drawn together? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the second. Although, Belgium and Bosnia have drawn each other in four of the last seven qualifiers. Almost as much as we've drawn Lithuania...
