Controlled by the Football Federation of Kosovo,〔(Kosovo national team info by FFK )〕 the governing body for football in Kosovo, they are neither a member of FIFA nor of UEFA, however are de facto recognised by the two.〔(Kosovo ready to play their first Fifa-sanctioned international football match ) The National〕 The team is coached by Albert Bunjaki,〔(coach of Kosovo Kent national football team (AlbaniaSoccer) )〕 who took charge in May 2009. ==History== (詳細はYugoslavia, and has played a number of friendly matches. Most of these friendly matches were played against football clubs, although a number were played against national teams of other countries. On 6 May 2008, Kosovo applied for FIFA membership. Kosovo's applications was discussed at the FIFA Congress in Zurich, in October 2008 when Kosovo was rejected membership in FIFA and could not play friendly matches as it was deemed it did not comply with article 10 of the FIFA statutes, that only "an independent state recognised by the international community" may be admitted into FIFA.〔(Fifa rejects Kosovo football body application - Sport ) The Sofia Echo〕 FIFA reverted that decision in 22 May 2012, stating that Kosovo may play other countries in international friendlies according to Article 79 of the FIFA Statutes. In September 2012, Albanian international Lorik Cana, along with Swiss internationals Xherdan Shaqiri, Granit Xhaka and Valon Behrami (all of them with Kosovar Albanian origin) wrote a declaration to FIFA President Sepp Blatter, asking him to allow the Kosovo national team to be allowed to play friendly matches. The declaration was also signed by eight other Albanian footballers, hailing from Kosovo: Lorik Cana, Armend Dallku, Mërgim Mavraj, Samir Ujkani, Alban Meha, Burim Kukeli, Etrit Berisha, and Ahmed Januzi.〔(Shaqiri Xhaka Cana & Co deklarate per Kosoven ne FIFA )〕 In a meeting held in May 2012, FIFA decided to allow friendly matches to be played, a decision it later revoked following a protest issued by Football Association of Serbia. A new meeting was planned to be held at FIFA on 27 and 28 September in which the Kosovo issue was again planned to be discussed, which was then postponed until December. In February 2013, FIFA announced that they would allow Kosovo to play against other nations in non-official competitions providing that they did not display national symbols.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=FIFA Circular no.1342 )〕 On 13 January 2014, the national team was given permission by FIFA to play against FIFA member associations in international friendlies, with the notable exception of "representative teams of countries of the former Yugoslavia". Even club teams would be allowed to play friendlies after a FIFA Emergency Committee meeting. However, it was stipulated that "clubs and representative teams of the (Football Federation of Kosovo) may not display national symbols (flags, emblems, etc.) or play national anthems." The go-ahead was given after meetings between the Serbian Football Association and Blatter. Prime Minister Hashim Thaçi welcomed the decision and expressed his hope that the country would be a full member of FIFA and UEFA in the near future.〔http://uk.reuters.com/article/2014/01/13/uk-soccer-fifa-kosovo-idUKBREA0C1G620140113〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=FIFA Emergency Committee confirms friendly matches involving clubs and representative teams of Kosovo )〕 Following FIFA's ruling, it was announced that Kosovo's first officially sanctioned international match would be against Haiti on 5 March in Mitrovica. In March 2015 Michel Platini, UEFA's president, declared that Kosovo will be likely accepted in UEFA in 2016.〔(Koha Jone UEFA, Platini: Kosova do të pranohet brenda një viti )〕 In September 2015 in an Executive committee in Malta approve to joining the request from the federation to the admission in UEFA to the next Executive committee in March 2016.〔()〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kosovo national football team」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
