Zakaj: I am proud to have chosen Kosovo

Many want to wear the Dardans' lantern to make the contribution to their country of origin. The last to have decided to put on Kosovo's fan is Subotica-born football player Arton Zekiaj, currently part of the French elite club Leille, but who as football player grew up at the Belgrade Partizan academy, which thanks to his talent was also part of Serbia's representative for U15, U16 and U17."

However, the opportunity to represent Kosovo and the family's strong desire to wear the Dardan fan made it act immediately and from now on be part of the U21 National. Arton, today, was visiting the NFF, where after meeting with President Agim Ademi, he expressed his opinion on the official WFF page (www.ffk-kosova.com).

For me, it is the great pride that I have chosen Kosovo and will wear this fan, since this way I will make my parents, my family and all the people of Kosovo proud, and also a great man who is no longer among us the legend, Fadil Vokrri”, has stressed Zeqaj.

It was meant to debut in June matches for European qualifications 2021 with the U21 National Against Andor and Turkey, but a recently suffered injury has prompted its debut to be delayed for September.

I have to look at the future every time to get to the top of football, either at club level or at national level. Normally, all players want to play for the first National, but step by step, game after play will see how things work out. I'm left to show my qualities, and at the U21 National I'm going to give my best, and then there's the trainers who put in”, Zekij added.

Artoni has announced that he has followed all the A National A matches with great enthusiasm and believes in its success.

I've watched all the games in Kosovo and am very happy with the games and results our boys have shown. What I like most in Kosovo is the fact that everyone plays as a group and plays with the heart, while fans are fantastic. In one word all the people are at the side of the national team. I expect that we will be able to qualify in the Europeans, but we remain to see how things will turn out”, Zekiaj underlined.

He is part of the French team Leell, which in the new edition will play the Champions League. Arton has managed to become part of the 18th base, where he even recorded the debut in this team's fan.

We'll be in the Champions League in the new edition and I'm very excited about that. Competition is always very strong, but I'm the youngest on the team and I have to work hard to prove myself to secure the team. At present, however, the main thing is to rehabilitate as soon as possible from injury and return 100 percent of the force to exercise”, Zekij has been expressed. He has expressed gratitude for all the trainers he has worked with during his entire career until he has expressed hope that the future will be even brighter.
