[edit] Clean up
This needs a serious overhaul, I'm trying, but any help is apprecaited.--Tiresais 16:31, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
Shefki Kuqi wouldn't be able to play for Kosovo, he is capped over 40 times for Finland, making him ineligable. Martin Le Roy 15:30, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

- Many of the players listed appear to have been capped by Albania and are over 21 years old - meaning they could not switch allegiance under the standard FIFA rules. If they had been capped for Yugoslavia or Serbia & Montenegro, I think they could switch allegiance to Kosovo. If these Albania caps can be confirmed, I think the players should be removed.

In international football, players are normally committed to play for a specific national team to the exclusion of all others once they play in all or part of any match recognised as a full international by FIFA. However, an exception is made in cases where one or more newly-independent states are created out of a former state. Based on current FIFA rules, a player will be eligible to play for Kosovo, even if he had previously represented Serbia, if at least one of the following statements about him is true:
- He was born in Kosovo.
- At least one of his parents and/or at least one of his grandparents was born in Kosovo.
- He has lived in Kosovo continuously for any two-year period.
I can't see that someone who has represented Albania could switch allegiance to Kosovo however.

[edit] Biggest win
The footnoted article refers to the match as being in Monaco, but this page states that the game was in France. Where was it actually played? Paploo 18:24, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
The match was in Cap d'Ail, just across the border in FRANCE, where Monaco are forced to play as they are not entitled to use AS Monaco's home ground.
Does anybody have any news about the Kosovo upcoming matches? They seem a bit unusual to say the least. Why would Kosovo play Burundi in Algeria, for example? And why would they play a city (Jakarta)? and not Indonesia? 155.245.34.250 (talk) 20:42, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
