The '''FFK National Educational Camp''' ({{langx|sq|Kampi Edukativ Nacional i FFK-së}}), previously known as '''Hajvalia Stadium''' ({{langx|sq|Stadiumi i Hajvalisë}}), is a stadium located in the village of [[Hajvalia]], near [[Pristina|Pristina, Kosovo]].

It currently has a capacity of 4,000 people.{{Citation needed|date=October 2024}}

==History==

The Hajvalia Stadium, known locally as the home of [[KF Hajvalia]], is situated in the village of [[Hajvalia]], near [[Pristina]], [[Kosovo]]. Its history is intertwined with the growth of football in the region, particularly following [[Kosovo|Kosovo's]] declaration of independence and its eventual recognition by [[FIFA]] and [[UEFA]] in the 2010s.

KF Hajvalia, the club that calls this stadium home, gained attention in 2014 for offering a contract to [[Luis Suárez]] during his [[FIFA]] suspension. While primarily serving local and regional matches, the stadium has become an important gathering place for the community and reflects the evolving football culture in [[Kosovo]].

The stadium itself has undergone gradual improvements over the years, aligning with the aspirations of the club and the rising standards of Kosovar football. Despite being a smaller facility compared to major stadiums in the country, it holds a special place in the hearts of local fans and contributes significantly to the region's footballing identity.

==Role in Kosovo football==

Hajvalia Stadium is an important facility for the Kosovo national football team's training sessions. Known as the National Training Camp, it is regularly used by the team to prepare for important matches. For example, the Kosovo national team held light training sessions there before their [[UEFA Nations League]] match against Romania and ahead of a friendly match against Norway. The facility provides the team with an environment conducive to tactical preparations and physical conditioning, situated conveniently close to [[Pristina]].

In addition to its use for training, the [[Football Federation of Kosovo]] (FFK) is actively working on developing the site as part of a broader initiative to improve sports infrastructure. This camp is a product of UEFA-funded projects aimed at enhancing sports facilities in Kosovo.

The stadium's history is closely tied to KF Hajvalia, and despite its modest size, Hajvalia Stadium remains a symbol of the local football culture in [[Kosovo]].
