About KF Dukagjini

KF Dukagjini is a professional football club based in the town of Klina, Kosovo. Founded in 1958, the club competes in the Kosovo Superleague, the highest level of football in the country. It plays its home matches at the 18 June Stadium and is known by the nickname “Hithat” (The Nettles), reflecting its resilient and combative identity.

For much of its history, Dukagjini was a modest club that spent long periods in lower divisions. Its most notable early success came during the 1990s, when it won the title in the independent Kosovo league in the 1993–94 season. The club also reached several domestic cup finals, establishing itself as a respected team within Kosovo’s developing football structure.

In recent years, KF Dukagjini has grown in prominence, becoming a competitive side in the top division. A strong league finish allowed the club to qualify for European competition for the first time, participating in the UEFA Europa Conference League qualifiers in 2023–24. Although still developing compared to Kosovo’s leading clubs, Dukagjini continues to build its reputation through steady progress and community support.
