History
The Hajvalia Stadium is a small football venue located in the village of Hajvalia, near Pristina, Kosovo. It has served as the home ground for KF Hajvalia, a football club that was established in 1999 and competed in the Kosovo First League. The stadium has a seating capacity of 4,000 and primarily hosted local football matches. The club and the stadium gained brief international attention in 2017. KF Hajvalia in 2014 made a playful offer to sign Luis Suárez during his FIFA suspension.[2]
The stadium's history is closely tied to KF Hajvalia, a relatively small but ambitious football club that dissolved in 2018. Despite its modest size, Hajvalia Stadium remains a symbol of the local football culture in Kosovo.
Role in Kosovo football
Hajvalia Stadium, located in the village of Hajvali, 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.
FC Hajvalia (Albanian: Klubi Futbollistik Hajvalia), commonly known as Hajvalia, was a professional football club based in the village of Hajvali, Pristina, Kosovo. The club last competed in the First Football League of Kosovo, the second tier of football in the country.
In June 2014, after Luis Suárez was suspended by FIFA for biting Giorgio Chiellini, Hajvalia made an offer to Liverpool for Suárez. The offer was for a four-month loan during his suspension, with a fee of £24,000 (€30,000) and a monthly salary of €1,500.
