The FFK National Training Camp (Albanian: Kampi Stervitor Nacional i FFK-së), previously known as Hajvalia Stadium (Albanian: Stadiumi i Hajvalisë), is a stadium located in the village of Hajvalia, near Pristina, Kosovo. It serves as the training location for the Kosovo national football team, as well as the former home ground for KF Hajvalia, a dissolved club that has competed in various Kosovar football leagues. It currently has a capacity of 4,000 people.

History

The Hajvalia Stadium, known locally as the home of KF Hajvalia, is situated in the village of Hajvalia, near Pristina, Kosovo. Its history is intertwined with the growth of football in the region, particularly following Kosovo's declaration of independence and its eventual recognition by FIFA and UEFA in the 2010s. KF Hajvalia, the club that calls this stadium home, gained attention in 2014 for offering a contract to Luis Suárez during his FIFA suspension. While primarily serving local and regional matches, the stadium has become an important gathering place for the community and reflects the evolving football culture in Kosovo. The stadium itself has undergone gradual improvements over the years, aligning with the aspirations of the club and the rising standards of Kosovar football. Despite being a smaller facility compared to major stadiums in the country, it holds a special place in the hearts of local fans and contributes significantly to the region's footballing identity.

Role in Kosovo football
