It has been four years since Kosovo's accession to Europe's largest football house, UEFA.
On May 3rd 2016 was the historic date of Kosovo football.
At the UEFA Congress on May 3rd 2016, Kosovo became the 55th member of the European football house, with 28 votes to, 24 against and 2 invalids, the newspaper Hall writes.
On the 4th anniversary of Kosovo's accession to UEFA, we cannot fail to remember the speech of Alsdair Bell, the man who gave a great and fair help to the FFK on that critical day, when Serbia and Switzerland opposed Kosovo's right to play soccer.
The United Nations has no authority to recognise states, but states know states. If you're not a member of the UN doesn't mean you're not a country. The four criteria of being a state are the definition of territory, population, government and the ability to reach agreement with others”.
“Therefore, members of Congress will decide on their own whether Kosovo deserves to be admitted to UEFA or not, Bell said at the UEFA congress four years ago.
This talk had caused many countries to change their minds and vote Kosovo accession.
