KV PËJA were obviously the dominant force in this year’s Kosovo men’s national league and they recently completed their run in the championship series with KV Luboteni FERIZAJ with a clean sweep of three wins in as many matches. Their last 3-0 triumph (25-21, 25-22, 25-16) was even more comprehensive than the 3-1 victories they had celebrated in the first and second round of the final playoffs.

This success completes a perfect season for the team – as only a few weeks ago they had won the national cup title as well.

The Secretary General of the Kosovo Volleyball Federation (FVK), Mr Valon Nikqi, and the member of the FVK Board of Administration, Gazmend Husaj, awarded the winners with the gold medals. FVK President Bahri Gjinovci presented the most prestigious trophy in Kosovar Volleyball to the captain of KV PËJA, Agron Nikçi, before a real party followed in front of a large number of home fans.

The President of the Municipal Assembly of Pëja, Rexhep Kurtbogaj and FVK Board of Administration member Abedin Mehani awarded the players of KV Luboteni FERIZAJ with the silver medals for the runners-up of the competition.

KV Drita have emerged as this year’s winners of the Kosovo women’s national league at the end of a thrilling final against Fer Volley, which ended after KV Drita GJILAN recorded three wins to one for their rivals in the championship series.

The two teams showed real quality in a spectacular match that took place at the ‘Bill Clinton’ Volleyball Hall in Ferizaj, with more than 1,500 fans in attendance. They will remember this match for a very long time as they enjoyed some two hours of Volleyball at its finest. KV Drita eventually won 3-2 (20-25, 25-20, 21-25, 25-23, 15-11) to trigger jubilant scenes from head coach Lorik Ilazi and the players. This is their second domestic triumph this season, after KV Drita had claimed the national cup of Kosovo a few weeks ago.

The Secretary General of the Kosovo Volleyball Federation (FVK), Valon Nikqi, Vice-President Mimoza Shkodra and a member of the FVK Board of Administration, Mr Gazmend Husaj, awarded the champions with the gold medals. FVK President Bahri Gjinovci presented the trophy designed for the winners of the national league to the team captain of KV Drita, Adelajda Prenga before celebrations with the fans ensued shortly afterwards.
