Kosovo and Armenia return to action on Friday when they lock horns in a friendly at the Pristina City Stadium. This will be the first meeting between the two nations since March 2024, when Franco Foda’s men secured a 1-0 victory in a similar friendly matchup.
Kosovo maintained their fine run of results last time out when they secured a 3-1 victory over Iceland to complete a 5-2 aggregate win in the Nations League promotion/relegation playoff.
Foda’s side have now won six games on the bounce across all competitions, scoring 15 goals and keeping three clean sheets since a 3-0 defeat against Romania in September 2024.
Kosovo now return home, where they are unbeaten in 11 of their last 13 games in all competitions, claiming six wins and five draws since June 2022.
