history

The association was founded in 1977 by Albanian immigrants in Hamburg. When the association was founded, several association names were proposed, ranging from Prishtina to Emin Duraku to Bajram Curri , before the proposal to name the association Kosova was accepted.

The club has been playing in Hamburg football since 1993, when the Kosova club started in the district class , the lowest league in Hamburg. The promotion to the district league succeeded in the first year, but after the club withdrew in 1996, he had to start again in 1997/98 in the district class. Again, the Kosova club was able to rise directly to the county league, in which it remained for 12 years until 2010. In 2010 he was promoted to the Hamburg district league for the first time , followed three years later by being promoted to the regional league as champion of the southern season . In the first two years in the national league, Kosova played against relegation, but was just able to prevent it. In the third year, the 2015/16 season, the Kosova club then managed the surprising promotion to the Hamburg Oberliga , although the club only declared ninth place as a goal at the beginning of the season. The Kosova club is the first Albanian club in Germany to be promoted to the highest league in its national association. However, one got off again one season.

In the summer of 2015, the club made headlines when the Hamburg Association included the Albanian club Kosova and the Serbian club FK Nikola Tesla in the Landesliga Hansa , whereupon both clubs demanded a new division because of violent riots due to the tense situation between Albania and Serbia of the audience feared (a few months earlier the European Championship qualifier between Albania and Serbia was canceled due to riots). The association then gave in and relocated FK Nikola Tesla from the Hansa relay to the Hammonia relay, whereupon TSV Sasel was relocated from the Hammonia relay to the Landesliga Hansa against his will. Against this, Sasel lodged a protest, which was granted, so that Sasel came back to the Landesliga Hammonia. Thus, in the 2015/16 season, only 15 clubs played in the Landesliga Hansa (with the Kosova club), while 17 played in the Landesliga Hammonia (with Nikola Tesla and TSV Sasel).

The club's second team played in the district class until 2014, before being promoted to the district league (8th league), in which the team has been competing since then.
