About KF Trepça '89

KF Trepça ’89 is a professional football club based in Mitrovica, Kosovo. The club was originally founded in 1940 under different names and was later re-established in 1989, which is reflected in its current name. It competes in the Kosovo football league system and plays its home matches at the Riza Lushta Stadium.

The club has a long history of development through several identities, including Rudari and Minatori ’89, before becoming Trepça ’89. Its name is closely linked to the Trepça mining complex and the local working-class identity of Mitrovica. Over time, the club became one of the more stable and competitive sides in Kosovo football, regularly participating in the top division.

Trepça ’89 achieved its greatest success in the 2016–17 season when it won the Kosovo Superleague title for the first time in its history. This victory also earned the club a place in European competition, where it represented Kosovo in UEFA qualifiers. Despite later ups and downs in performance, the club remains an important part of the country’s football landscape and is known for its historic championship achievement.
