During this visit, the opening of the AFF office was inaugurated, which will be headed by Nagip Jakupi, who will be the scout of young talents in the Presevo Valley. Initially, the AFF delegation consisting of two Albanian football legends, Sulejman Mema and Sulejman Demollari, currently part of the AFF and representatives of the PR office of the Federation, paid a visit to the training field of KF Valley where they were followed by close to a training session of youth teams.
Afterward, the symbolic ceremony of donating the material base was held by the AFF to the Presevo club.
Speaking to the media during the ceremony, the football expert in the national teams' sector in the AFF, Sulejman Mema, expressed his satisfaction for this visit and stressed that he will work to promote the elements that promise for the future. Mema said that the AFF has always had this community in mind and the example of well-known Presevo residents, Berat Gjimshiti or Mimoza Hamidi has always been a source of inspiration and pride.
"We had an obligation to come to Presevo because we feel good to be here. An obligation that the Albanian Football Federation and President Duka had in special attention to be near you, not for this symbolic donation, but to promote this province that has really produced two great values of Albanian football like Berat Gjimshiti and Mimoza Hamidi, the female footballer who plays in the Albanian Women's National Team. Knowing that the premises are good, we ask that this area be stimulated to promote the new elements that we will follow throughout this time. The initiator was Mr. Nagip Jakupi, who will be the official scout of the AFF in Presevo", - said Mema.
Whereas, the Albanian football legend Sulejman Demollari, emphasized that the support of FSHF for this community will continue in the future to help him in every step.
"It's a very emotional day, even for us who came here today. This support will continue, also from the Albanian Football Federation and with the great desire of President Duka. And above all, for the Albanian community to feel good, to feel close to football and to our Federation. I wish you success! This will be a joint aid," said Demollari.
Jakupi was very happy for this cooperation and praised the initiative, which will support the development of football in Presevo.
"I thank all the media that are present in this activity, which today is officially for the first time in the history of Presevo football and in the history of the Albanian Football Federation that is visited and there is a cooperation between the club and the Federation. It is a great pleasure for us that today we are waiting for the delegation of the Federation, giving us donations, cooperating in the licensing of coaches, the qualification of judges, and all the organizations that the Federation has in Albania...!” Said Jakupi.
Meanwhile, the AFF delegation was received in a meeting by the Mayor of Presevo, Ardita Sinani, who was very pleased with this visit and the attention of the Football Federation for the Presevo Valley. Also, Mrs. Sinani promised that he will support the Presevo club with all the possibilities, creating opportunities for investments in infrastructure and for the massification of football. For their part, the representatives of FSHF, Mema and Demollari, pledged that the Federation will always be close to the sports-loving community of Presevo, not only with material basis, but also with different qualifications of coaches or the observation of the talents.
