History

KF Vushtrria is the oldest football club in Kosovo. It was founded in 1922 and it has been competing domestically in Kosovo ever since. Throughout the years after World War II, Vushtrri became one of the most renowned football clubs in Kosovo due to producing some of Kosovos’ best young talents. Many of these players were transferred to other Kosovar clubs such as Prishtina and Trepça due to them playing in former Yugoslav First League.

After the Kosovo War, the citizens & supporters returned to its stadium stands. Although regularly fighting relegation throughout the seasons during the 2000s, the “Ferki Aliu Stadium” had strong fan attendance. The clubs’ ultras group “Forca” gained a nationwide generalisation during that period due to many opposing teams supporters being the subject of verbal and physical abuse when they would travel and watch their team play in the city of Vushtrri. Due to this, the club was constantly fined and deducted points and became one of Kosovos most hated teams and fiercest cities to play away at.

In 2012 the club was purchased by local steel galvanising plant, Llamkos GalvaSteel. When the club was taken over by Llamkos GalvaSteel and the Core Group, there were immediate investments made which resulted in the club winning their 2013–14 league title, which was the first in its history. Llamkos GalvaSteel then distanced itself from the club as did the club's owner Jeton Sadiku, leaving the financing and management in the hands of the Vushtrri municipality.
