FIFA does't give permission to Shaqiri and Tarashaj to play for Kosovo

 Other details has been revealed about the players of Albanian origin who sought to join Kosovo's football team.

A few days ago the Swiss Federation of Football published the list of players who will play in the World Cup Russia 2018, by erasing hopes of Kosovo officials on making part of the team new players of Albanian origin.

Today Kosovo media write that two players, Shani Tarashaj and Xherdan Shaqiri had expressed their desire to play for Kosovo, but FIFA did not gave to them the "green light".

"Shani had longed to play for Kosovo, he was able to do everything to make this dream a reality and this is known better by the coach Bunjaku. But FIFA's decision was that he could not play for Kosovo after playing official matches with Switzerland after Kosovo was accepted to FIFA and UEFA, Kosovo media writes.

The newspaper quoted another source and says that besides Tarashaj was also Shaqiri the one who was not able to get the permission of FIFA to be part of Kosovo.

Earlier, from the Albanian national football team fled to Kosovo team Rashica, Shala, Meha and Rahmani.
