KF Trepça

In 1999 after the Kosovo war, many of the Kosovo Albanian players left the Serbian club FK Trepča and decided to found their own club.[1] The club colours are black and green. The Albanian club received the name KF Trepça, the Albanian name for FK Trepča, thus there were two clubs in the city with almost the same name. However, the Football Federation of Kosovo was not recognized by FIFA and UEFA until 2016.[2][3] The main supporters of KF Trepça are TORCIDA 1984 which were formed on 20 March 1984 with a lot of repressions under the Serb-Yugoslavian regime and occupation in that time until the end of the war in 1999. The history of their fans is huge that cannot be said only in words, it is also the oldest Ultras-firm in all ethnic Albania. Biggest rival is Prishtina and enemy if I can say which is included in all sports especially in basketball and football, but in basketball it's been announced many times as champion of Kosovo and the Balkan League (BIBL). As mentioned, it's the biggest and strongest rival of all Ultras-groups in Kosovo is Plisat from Prishtina, they had many fights between at any place they met each other and caused human and material damage. The city of Mitrovica is divided in two parts the north side which is lived mostly by Serbians and the south side lived by Albanians, both sides hates each other due to historical events that happened long time ago and both sides have 3 Ultras-groups Torcida in south, Delije in north and Grobari in Zvecan which is a little bit far from the north side. Many times there been between these two Utras groups from North side and Torcida. This patriotic town is known for its name Black and Green city and the Town of Miner's Trepça.

The generations from the 1970s Trepča that made Mitrovica an important point in the Yugoslav football map are part of the heritage of FK Trepča K. Mitrovica that in 1999 moved to the northern part of the town and plays nowadays in Serbian lower leagues.[4] However KF Trepca claims that heritage for themselves.[5]

After the Kosovo war in 1999, the city was divided into a southern part with an almost exclusively Kosovo Albanian population and a northern part with a non-Albanian or predominantly Serb population.[6] During the war, many Serbs and non-Albanians fled to the northern part of the city or were expelled. The 2004 unrest in Kosovo reinforced the ethnic division of the city.

The home ground of the club is now the Trepča Stadium, the same stadium where the Serbian club FK Trepča played until 1999.[6] The stadium is located in the southern part of the city, but FK Trepča is based in North Kosovska Mitrovica, in North Kosovo; it is not currently possible for them to play their home matches in their former home stadium.[3][6] Currently, only Albanian teams play in Trepča Stadium, including the KF Trepça.[6] The Trepča Stadium is now called Olympik Stadiumi Adem Jashari by the Kosovo Albanian population, after Adem Jashari, a former leader of the Albanian paramilitary rebel organisation UÇK; the non-Albanian population still uses the name Stadion Trepča.[1] The stadium is the largest in Kosovo with a capacity of 18,200.
