The road to the 2026 World Championship that takes place in the USA, Canada and Mexico has brought an interesting opponent for Kosovo.

"It's definitely the strongest and most exciting group in this qualifier," added the former Young Bpys player who now plays for Alanya in Turkey.

We have already gained experience against the Swedes: "They are not easy and have a lot of quality in attack. "We saw at the European Championships how compact they work as a team - and they are also full of good individual players."

For the 30-year-old, who has also played one international match for the Swiss national team against Belarus in 2017, the most special match is of course against his native country – Switzerland.

After three previous draws, the players of both countries finally want their first victory. "The stadium in Pristina, as well as in Switzerland, is guaranteed to sell out again. "Qualifying for the European Championship was very extraordinary for me and my family."

The family will continue to grow until the qualifiers. Exactly at the beginning of the month, Hadergjonaj announced the arrival of the second child.

Asked about the favorite, Hadergjonaj stated: "Of course it will be a challenging task for us, but finally we want to achieve something historic, we think we have a chance to go to the World Cup and we will definitely go all-in." . /Telegraph/
