The match between Romania and Kosovo in the European qualifiers was interrupted for a few minutes in Bucharest due to political messages in the stadium.
"Kosovo is Serbia", was a large open banner behind the goal, which caused the match to be stopped for several minutes. The Football Federation of Kosovo has also officially reacted to this.
The reaction of the Football Federation of Kosovo:
"Through football we build bridges between peoples, we don't tear them down
The Football Federation of Kosovo strongly condemns the serious incident caused by the fans of the Romanian national team, during the qualifying match for Euro 2024, Romania-Kosovo, at the "Arena Nationala" in Bucharest.
The fans of the national football team of Romania, through the language of hatred and damage to the image of the national team itself through such expressions and unsportsmanlike behavior, have denigrated last night's football match.
For this, the Football Federation of Kosovo has reacted immediately on the spot, demanding the suspension of the game until the banners and slogans of hatred during the match are withdrawn. This request of FFK was approved by the delegate of the match and until all banners were withdrawn and all hateful calls against Kosovo were stopped, the match did not resume.
After this incident, it was requested from the UEFA delegate to record all the violations that resulted in warnings to the Football Federation of Romania and it was requested that all violations be processed by the relevant UEFA bodies.
The Football Federation of Kosovo has also addressed the Disciplinary Committee of UEFA with the request that adequate measures be taken in relation to the nationalist chants, banners and hate speech expressed by the fans of the Romanian national team.
Such incidents must not be repeated. Football only builds bridges between us, it should not tear them down.
We thank once again all those who have condemned yesterday's incident and support football.
Despite this, the FFK has discussed and collected recorded and photographed statements and materials, which complete the complaint file for punishment of this event, with a request for the review of all events by controllers, specialists and the referral sector for the decisions of injustice.
President Ademi has called the competent bodies for this case and asked for measures to be taken, mentioning also the case of the match with Switzerland for not awarding the penalty, as well as the case of the possible penalty with Romania and not giving the red card in the case of interference to Rrahman.
In this regard, FFK, within the framework of the legal procedures, will also prepare the necessary comments and submit the lawsuit to UEFA, as well as to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).
