WELCOME
The idea of bringing the sport of padel in Kosovo started as an idea between Besim Shulemaja (Chairman of Padel Kosova) and Jusuf Kika (Secretary General of Padel Kosova).
Besim lives in Sweden and is a successful businessman. He owns some companies and does a lot of sports. One of his favourite activites to do during the week is without a doubt the sport of padel. He plays it a lot and he had the idea about having the opportunity to bring this joy to his country, Kosovo.
Here in Kosovo the idea was welcomed by another sports athlete. Jusuf is a sports science student and also a UEFA Certified Football Coach.
Jusuf already heard about the new sport sensation of padel and immediately together both of them started the journey to bring padel in Kosovo.
Within not even a year, they established the Kosovo Padel Federation, created first padel clubs in the country, hosted one tournament and the 2nd is going to take place this spring. They promoted the sport of padel in the social media, TV and also by attending to the most prestigious Padel events around the world, such as World Padel Tour, Padel FIP, World Padel Championiship, etc.
On August 28th 2021, the Kosovo Padel Federation was created and on 2022 the first padel courts will be built around Prishtina and other
cities.
People welcomed the idea of a new sport and they already love it without even playing it. No wonder they will be addicted to this sport.
