List of Kosovo international footballers born outside Kosovo
The list of Kosovo international footballers born outside Kosovo includes all the players who were born outside Kosovo, including the Kosovan diaspora. This has happened officially since 2014, when the national team was given permission by FIFA to play against FIFA member associations in international friendlies. The first non-Albanian international football player, Adis Nurković was born in Velika Kladuša, SFR Yugoslavia (now Bosnia and Herzegovina) and he represented Kosovo during the 2010s. The majority of these players were born in Germany and Switzerland.
The following players:
- have played at least one full international match with national senior team.
- were born outside Kosovo.
- This list includes players who have dual citizenship with Kosovo and/or have become naturalized Kosovan citizens.
- This list includes only players who have played with Kosovo from the first permitted by FIFA match against Haiti[1] and until their last match against Azerbaijan,
on 10 June 2019.[2]
The players are ordered per modern-day country of birth or if the country at the time of birth differs from the current, this is indicated with a subsection.
