Spain surrenders: We must play against Kosovo

Spain's football national will hold two qualifying matches to Kosovo for the 2022 World Cup.

Spain is among the countries that have not yet recognised Kosovo, and in their media right after the lots, much has been reported about this approach.

There have been those who have reported that Spain will refuse to hold matches against Kosovo, or will ask FIFA for them to be played at neutral stadiums.

Spain's Foreign Affairs Minister Arca Gonzalez Laja, even though he does not like confrontations with Kosovo, has said they should be developed.

I must say that this is a problem that is solved within FIFA regulations. Their rules are being viewed, not international law for the recognition of”, Laja has declared.

The fact that we did not support Kosovo does not mean that it does not participate in sports contests, which others participate in. We have already played with them in 2018 at the Mediterranean Games and at the World Championship for New Handballers. We'll talk to FIFA to see what conditions they'll look for for that match and what the matches will be against them”.
