History

Kosovo Basketball Federation was founded in 1991.During the Yugoslavian era, Kosovo had own Superleague and lower divisions in both genders.In the 1990s, Kosovo declared political and sports independence from Yugoslavian system, organising its own league based with different teams from major cities of Kosovo. Kosovo was not allowed to play international matches, not even friendlies by FIBA, until 2015 when Kosovo Basketball Federation became official member of FIBA World and FIBA Europe. The Basketball Federation of Kosovo was denied entry into the International Basketball Federation (FIBA), the latest rejection taking place in Beijing at the annual FIBA Central Board meeting on 26 April 2008, with the reason: "Kosovo has not fulfilled all required conditions".[3]

The Basketball Federation of Kosovo was accepted as a full member of FIBA on 13 March 2015.[4] Serbian basketball federation KSS seeks to ban any Kosovo vs Serbia games.[5]
