The youngest footballer to tell him Yes, Kosovo: I didn't want to wait for Sweden another four years

Ibrahim Dresevic will have the opportunity to represent Kosovo on the international stage for the first time in June. He has made known and elected Kosovo because he did not want to wait a few more years to receive an invitation from Sweden.

In addition to Florent Hadergjelj, of whom the Kosovo Football Federation had earlier announced that it would join Kosovo for the June matches, innovations on the team invited by Bernard Challandes for the June matches are also Ibrahim Dresevq and Yldren Ibrahimaj.

Before being invited this time from Kosovo, Dresevic had represented Sweden, but he had never played for the first team. Dresevich recorded nine presentations for the age groups of the National of Sweden.

The “is a wonderful feeling, truly”, Dresevic told BT when asked how it feels to have joined the Kosovo team.

On the national team, Dreseviq will play alongside Arber Zenel, with whom he had enjoyed company especially during the time that both football players played for the Elfsborg.

I talked to him a little bit about the team and he told me that everything looks bright and that they have a lot of new players. I've been thinking a lot about my future and this is the best”.

I didn't want to wait another three or four years to join Sweden's team. You can never know what's gonna happen, you can get hurt or something like that”

Dresevich is a 22-year-old defender who had been able to represent both Sweden and Montenegro. He plays for the Dutch club Heerenveen, where he was transferred during this year's January transitional deadline from Elsborg.

In all, he has held eight matches this season, six in Eredavisie and two at Beloften Eerste Divisisi.

During June, Kosovo will hold two matches within the Group A qualifications for the 2020 European Championship. Initially, “Dardians” will face Montenegro on June 7th in Podgorica, while three days later they will visit Bulgaria in Sofia.
