Klubi Futbollistik Trepça Mitrovicë is a football club based in the southern part of Mitrovica, Kosovo.[a] The club was founded in 1932 .

History

In 1999 after the Kosovo war, many of the Kosovo Albanian players left the Serbian club FK Trepča and decided to found their own club.[1] The club colours are black and green. The Albanian club received the name KF Trepça, the Albanian name for FK Trepča, thus there were two clubs in the city with virtually the same name. However, the Football Federation of Kosovo is not recognized by FIFA and UEFA.[2][3]

The glorious generations from the 1970s Trepča that made Mitrovica an important point in the Yugoslav football map are part of the heritage of FK Trepča K. Mitrovica that in 1999 moved to the northern part of the town and plays nowadays in Serbian lower leagues.[4] However KF Trepca claims that heritage for themselves.[5]

a. ^ Kosovo is the subject of a territorial dispute between the Republic of Kosovo and the Republic of Serbia. The Republic of Kosovo unilaterally declared independence on 17 February 2008, but Serbia continues to claim it as part of its own sovereign territory. The two governments began to normalise relations in 2013, as part of the Brussels Agreement. Kosovo has been recognised as an independent state by 108 out of 193 United Nations member states.
