Notes

  1. ^
    Kosovo during the 2009–10 period was introduced with its alternative name as Ekipi i Kosovës (Team Kosovo), in order to avoid possible sanctions by UEFA and FIFA against Kosovo and the opponents that Kosovo played. After Kosovo was allowed on 6 February 2013 by FIFA to play against FIFA member associations in international friendlies, [12] this alternative name was no longer used.
