==History==
==History==
===Permitting by FIFA to play friendlies===
Kosovo was approved to become a member of [[UEFA]] following a [[secret ballot]] at the 40th Ordinary Congress in [[Budapest]] in May 2016.<ref>{{cite web|title=Football Federation of Kosovo joins UEFA|url=http://www.uefa.org/mediaservices/newsid=2359883.html#football+federation+kosovo+joins+uefa|website=UEFA.com|accessdate=3 May 2016|date=3 May 2016}}</ref> Only after that Kosovo was able to enter tournaments organized by UEFA. The senior team will play their first competitive match in the [[2019 FIFA Women's World Cup qualification (UEFA)|qualification rounds]] for the [[2019 FIFA Women's World Cup]].<ref>http://www.uefa.com/womensworldcup/news/newsid=2435005.html</ref>
On 6 February 2013, FIFA gave Kosovo the permission to play international friendly games against other member associations.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.fifa.com/mm/document/affederation/administration/02/01/19/65/circularno.1342-friendlygameswithteamsofthefootballfederationofkosovo.pdf|title=FIFA Circular no.1342|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190620192102/https://www.fifa.com/mm/document/affederation/administration/02/01/19/65/circularno.1342-friendlygameswithteamsofthefootballfederationofkosovo.pdf|publisher=[[FIFA]]|date=6 February 2013|archive-date=20 June 2019}}</ref> On 13 January 2014, there was a change of this permit that forbade Kosovo to play against the national teams of the countries of the former Yugoslavia. Club teams were also allowed to play friendlies and this happened after a [[FIFA Emergency Committee]] meeting. However, it was stipulated that clubs and representative teams of the Football Federation of Kosovo may not display national symbols as flags, emblems, etc. or play national anthems. The go-ahead was given after meetings between the Football Association of Serbia and [[Sepp Blatter]].

The Kosovo women's national football team (Albanian: Kombëtarja e futbollit të femrave të Kosovës; Serbian: Женска фудбалска репрезентација Косова, romanized: Ženska fudbalska reprezentacija Kosova) represents Kosovo in international women's football and is controlled by the Football Federation of Kosovo.

History

[edit]

Permitting by FIFA to play friendlies

[edit]

On 6 February 2013, FIFA gave Kosovo the permission to play international friendly games against other member associations.[2] On 13 January 2014, there was a change of this permit that forbade Kosovo to play against the national teams of the countries of the former Yugoslavia. Club teams were also allowed to play friendlies and this happened after a FIFA Emergency Committee meeting. However, it was stipulated that clubs and representative teams of the Football Federation of Kosovo may not display national symbols as flags, emblems, etc. or play national anthems. The go-ahead was given after meetings between the Football Association of Serbia and Sepp Blatter.

Membership in UEFA and FIFA

[edit]
See also: Membership of Kosovo in international sports federations

In September 2015 at an UEFA Executive Committee meeting in Malta was approved the request from the federation to the admission in UEFA to the next Ordinary Congress to be held in Budapest.[3] On 3 May 2016, at the Ordinary Congress. Kosovo were accepted into UEFA after members voted 28–24 in favor of Kosovo.[4][5] Ten days later, Kosovo was accepted in FIFA during their 66th congress in Mexico with 141 votes in favour and 23 against.[6]

First tournament

[edit]

Debut in World Cup and Euro qualifications

[edit]

Kosovo began to make their debut in the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup qualification, where Kosovo was drawn with Albania, Greece and Malta.[7] The Kosovars despite the efforts failed to qualify and finished last in the group with three losses.

After failing to qualify for the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup, Kosovo participated in the UEFA Women's Euro 2021 qualifying, together with Estonia, Russia, Slovenia, Turkey and 2019 World Cup runners-up finisher Netherlands,[8] the Kosovars created their first big surprise, defeating Turkey in a 2–0 home win, which was also the team's first-ever competitive win,[9] victory which increased the enthusiasm which unfortunately did not last long and after the positive results began to experience a decline which resulted in disqualification.
