According to foreign media reports, “Kosovo” has the best chance of being awarded Stadium 974. This stadium is built from containers, and the Serbian team will play one of its matches there.
Stadium 974, one of the hosts of the World Cup, was built from tin containers, and after the end of the championship, it will be donated to one of the FIFA member states. There are many candidates to be gifted this building, as reported by foreign media the first portable stadium in the world will be given to the “Football Association of Kosovo”!
This association asked FIFA to donate the stadium to it after the World Cup, and according to the president of “FS Kosovo”, the chances of the stadium being sent to Kosovo are high precisely because of the good relations with the Qatar Football Association.
Serbia will play at this stadium on December 2 play a third round match against the Swiss national team, a national team that has several players from Kosovo in its composition. We all well remember the 2018 World Cup and the match between Switzerland and Serbia (2:1) as well as the celebration of the goals of two players who originate from Kosovo. Then Đerdan Šaćiri and Granit Xhaka proudly displayed a double-headed eagle, alluding to the coat of arms of “Greater Albania”.
This news comes after the news that FIFA opened an investigation against the Football Association of Serbia because of the flag found in the dressing room of the Serbian team, which shows Kosovo and Metohija as part of Serbia.

“While Europe and the world are facing a crisis as big as Russia’s unprovoked aggression in Ukraine, a competition as big as the World Cup should be a place where peace should prevail, not be used to fuel hatred between nations. Kosovo is an independent and democratic state with maximum respect for human rights recognized by the world’s most powerful states and will continue its path regardless of such provocations. However, it is unacceptable for this to pass in silence, that’s why we ask FIFA to strictly implement its rules and punish the Football Association of Serbia for this aggressive message“, it is stated in the statement of the Football Association of the so-called state of Kosovo, and the statement was also issued by the Olympic Committee of that parastatal creation.
“The Kosovo Olympic Committee waited with great concern for the next move of Serbia, which once again behaved shamefully in its activities in the sphere of politics and sports. This time the gesture comes not only from the fans but from the Serbian football team at the biggest football event, the World Cup which is being played in Qatar. The leader of the Football Association was allowed a flag showing the map of the “Republic of Kosovo” in the colors of the Serbian flag, as well as the hateful message “No Surrender” to be in the dressing room before, during and after the match with Brazil. It is shameful how the leaders of the FSS allowed such xenophobic and genocidal messages of hatred against a country that has equal rights in the International Olympic Committee FIFA and UEFA,” their statement reads.
Stadium 974, which FS Kosovo wants to move to its territory, was built on November 20, 2021, and ten days later the first match was played there. It got its name from the number of containers from which it was built (974), the capacity of this stadium is 44,000 seats, and it is currently located in Doha. By the way, it is located just a few meters from the hotel where Serbia is staying and can be seen from the rooms of the Serbian national team members. Look:
