The Kosovo national football team has played several matches dating back to 1972, which according to various sources and Football Federation of Kosovo are not counted as International "A" Matches and is reported that there were 20 such matches, most of them was played before membership in UEFA and FIFA. [1]
Kosovo played its first known unofficial matches in December 1972 while part of the SAP Kosovo within the SFR Yugoslavia. During a short tour in PSR Albania, Kosovo faced several Albanian clubs, starting with Flamurtari Vlorë (1–1) on 13 December, followed by Tomori Berat (2–1 win) on 15 December, 17 Nëntori Tiranë (1–1) on 17 December, and Labinoti Elbasan (3–1 loss) on 20 December. These fixtures represented the earliest attempts of Kosovar footballers to compete as a separate selection.
In the space of one year, Kosovo played two unofficial friendlies against clubs from Albania and Macedonia: Macedonian Albanian club Shkëndija on 5 February 1992, which it defeated 4–0, and Albanian club Albpetrol Patos on 16 February 1993, which it defeated 3–2, two days after the official friendly against Albania. [1]
In November 1999, five months after the end of the Kosovo War, Kosovo played an unofficial friendly against players of Kosovar origin from the Kosovan diaspora, and the match ended in a 4–3 home win with goals from Kushtrim Munishi (twice), Kujtim Shala and Enis Fetahu. [2]
On 30 November 2003, Kosovo began the new decade by playing an unofficial friendly as part of the celebrations for the 91st Anniversary of the Independence of Albania against players of Albanian origin playing in Macedonia, and the match ended in a 5–0 home win with goals from Enis Fetahu (twice), Malsor Gjonbalaj, Shpëtim Hasani and Enver Jashari.
Three years later, on 28 November 2006, Kosovo played an unofficial friendly as part of the celebrations for the 94th Anniversary of the Independence of Albania against the Albanian All-Stars, and the match ended with a 3–3 draw. [3] The starting line-up of that match was Kushtrim Mushica (GK), Ahmed Januzi, Alban Dragusha, Arben Zhjeqi, Deniz Krasniqi, Hysni Gashi, Ilir Nallbani, Kristian Nushi, Mensur Duraku, Shaqir Halili and Uliks Emra.

After the match against the Albanian All-Stars, two more games were held: a 3–0 defeat against KEK in Obiliq and a 5–1 win against Kosovo U21 in Pristina.
On 14 June 2008, Kosovo played its first unofficial friendly since the declaration of independence, again facing the Albanian All-Stars, this time losing 0–3 at home.
On 28 March 2009, Kosovo, under the alternative name Team Kosovo, [a] played an unofficial friendly against Swedish club Malmö and suffered a 5–0 away defeat. [4]
