We have all enjoyed ourselves together, we have become like a family and we hope to show ourselves in these two matches. We play the first match at home and we have to focus 100%. "For this match we have to concentrate only on ourselves. We have great and talented players, so we have to win this match at home. Our goal is to advance to League B of the Nations League," said Sahiti.

Meanwhile, the 16-year-old talent of Stuttgarter Kickers U17, Lirjon Abdullahu, expressed his happiness at being recruited with the first team: "I did not expect the invitation, because I am 16 years old. However, I am pleased to show my values ​​in the A National Team. They have welcomed me very well. The others did not expect that a 16-year-old could be part of the team either. But, I thank everyone for the good reception. For a 16-year-old it is not easy to be included in the A team and show his values. It is a good feeling to play for Kosovo. I want to show everyone what I know", he said.

Kosovo aims to use the match at "Fadil Vokrri" to take the lead against Iceland, with a clear goal: promotion to League B of the Nations League and continued progress in the international arena. The Dardanët will hold their next training session tomorrow at 16:00 at the "Fadil Vokrri" stadium.
