The Bajram Aliu Stadium is a multi-use stadium in Skenderaj, Kosovo. It is currently used mostly for football matches and is the home ground of Drenica of the Kosovar Superliga. The stadium holds around 1,000 people.[1] It was built prior to the Kosovo War.[2]

After a 25-year attempt to join the UEFA (and by extension FIFA), Kosovo was permitted to join in 2016, which opened them up to much-needed financial sponsorship that would be put into renovating and restoring existing football facilities.[3]
