Kosovo Footballers Walk Off the Pitch During Nations League Match Due to Fan Behavior

Fans Insult, Throw Objects at Players

On Saturday, June 11, 2023, the Kosovo national football team left the field during a Nations League match against Montenegro due to inappropriate behavior from fans. The incident occurred during the second half of the match, which was taking place in Podgorica, Montenegro.

According to reports, a group of fans in the stands began insulting and throwing objects at the Kosovo players. The situation escalated, and the Kosovo players eventually decided to walk off the pitch.

Kosovo FA Files Complaint

The Kosovo Football Federation (FFK) has since filed a complaint with UEFA, the governing body of European football. The FFK has accused the Montenegrin Football Federation (FSCG) of failing to provide adequate security for the match.

UEFA Investigation

UEFA has opened an investigation into the incident. The organization has stated that it will take appropriate action based on the findings of the investigation.

Kosovo PM Condemns Behavior

The Prime Minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, has condemned the behavior of the fans. He has called on UEFA to take strict action against those responsible.

Previous Incidents

This is not the first time that a Kosovo football match has been marred by crowd trouble. In 2019, a Nations League match between Kosovo and England was abandoned due to crowd disturbances.

Kosovo's Football Journey

Kosovo is a relatively new nation, having declared independence from Serbia in 2008. The country's football team has made significant progress in recent years, reaching the UEFA Nations League finals in 2020.

However, the team's progress has been hampered by crowd trouble. UEFA has warned Kosovo that it could face sanctions if it fails to improve crowd behavior.

Conclusion

The incident in Montenegro is a reminder of the challenges that Kosovo faces in its quest for footballing success. The country's football authorities must work with UEFA to find a solution to the problem of crowd trouble.
