Zahir Pajaziti City Stadium

Zahir Pajaziti City Stadium stands in Podujevo, Kosovo. It is the home ground for KF Llapi. A new eastern grandstand and roofing for all stands are being installed as part of a project valued at nearly two million euros. The aim is to reach the required standard for international football.

The surface holds the rain well, though a match against Wales in April 2024 saw the conditions turn heavy. That game was part of the wider use of the venue for national team fixtures. It has also hosted qualifiers for the UEFA Europa Conference League, including a tie against Brøndby IF.

The capacity of the venue is a matter of debate. Some sources point to three thousand, while others suggest figures closer to six thousand for international matches. The true number is unclear, so the focus stays on what is visible. The stadium is named after Zahir Pajaziti, a founder and commander of the Kosovo Liberation Army. It is a place that has seen its share of renovation, from the initial construction to the latest phase of modernisation.
