Renowned Spanish newspaper reports match between Spain and Kosovo

The renowned Spanish newspaper Marca has written again about the football match between Spain and Kosovo. The match will be played on March 31st, while the Spanish Federation has not yet formalised the place where the preliminary meeting for the World 2022 will be played.

Spain does not recognise the state of Kosovo, and there have been reports of the possibility that the match will be played on neutral ground. But Spanish authorities are working to play the game in Spain's territory. That's what Marca made known on Sunday.

Immediately after the lots, the Government of Spain has said that the sport should be shared with politics.

But the Spanish Football Federation has expressed concern over whether the Spanish game can be played.

The Supreme Sport Council has expressed its will to play in Spain after all three parties involved determine all details at a recent meeting. Besides the Federation and the Supreme Sport Council, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is also.

From the Supreme Sports Council, they have told Marca that the government wants a letter of conditions the Federation must sign, just as the Spanish Handball Federation did regarding Kosovo participation U-21 in the World held in 2019 in Spain.

“The Football Forum has also referred to the handball federation, using it as an example after organising the Junior World, where Kosovo participated. From the Supreme Sports Council, they have explained that the handball federation has signed this list of technical approaches, which was sent to the international federation, which contributes to the preservation of our country's sports spirit and political position”She wrote Marca.

In the Spanish Football Federation, they have said they consider the positioning of the High Sport Council, which is the government's sports body, to be contrary to the event in Spain. In the federation, they said they were dealing with France and Portugal to organise in one of these two countries the match. But the Council has denied this, saying they are working to play the game in Spain.

According to the Marca newspaper, all parties are willing to play in Spain's territory, and there are no problems expected. But everything will be decided on a final date.
