FC Prishtina
Football Club Prishtina (Albanian: Klubi Futbollistik Prishtina, IPA: [ˈklubi futboɫisˈtik ˈpɾiʃtina]), commonly known as Prishtina, is a professional football club based in Pristina, Kosovo. The club plays in the Kosovo Superleague. It is the most successful domestic club.
The club was founded in 1922 under the name Kosova. Later on their name changed to Proleter, Bashkimi, Kosova and finally Prishtina.
Football began to be played and developed in Kosovo shortly after the end of the First World War, around 1919. Many demobilized soldiers, officers, and students returning from universities in France, Switzerland, Italy, Austria, England, Bucharest, Budapest, and elsewhere brought with them an interest in the sport. One student from Samerslen College in Grenoble (France) is recorded as having brought the first football to Prishtina in 1919, a gift he had received from a doctor he had met there.
With the introduction of the first football in Prishtina, many young people began playing informally, though no organized structure existed at the time. Only friendly matches were played, primarily between school youth and the local military garrison.
As time passed, the need for a formally organized club grew stronger. In 1922, when Prishtina was a small town of roughly 16,000 inhabitants, local high school students took the initiative to form the first organized football club, named Kosova. Although the club did not participate in official competitions due to not being registered with any sporting authority, it regularly played friendly matches. The team was composed mainly of high school students and was occasionally reinforced by soldiers from the Prishtina Garrison.
These friendly matches were commonly played against other newly formed teams both within Kosovo and in nearby Macedonia.
In 1926, another football club was established in Prishtina: Gragjanski, which primarily gathered the town’s artisan youth. Unlike Kosova, Gragjanski was financially stronger and more structurally consolidated. The club took advantage of this and succeeded in registering with the Banovina Skopje Football Sub-League, although detailed records of the level of competition are not available.
In the beginning the club competed in Yugoslav lower leagues all the way until the beginning of World War II when the region was annexed to Albania. In 1942 Prishtina competed in the North group of the 1942 Albanian Championship finishing in fourth and bottom place of their group.
