Klubi Futbollistik Prishtina e Re (transl. Football Club Prishtina e Re), commonly known as Prishtina e Re, is a professional football club based in the village Hajvalia of Pristina, Kosovo. From the 2025–26 season the club will play in the Kosovo Superleague, which is the top tier of football in the country.
History
KF Prishtina e Re was founded in 2017 under the name SHF Shkëndija Hajvali (Shkolla e Futbollit Shkëndija Hajvali). The club took its original name from the local primary school in the village of Hajvalia, located near Pristina. In the 2020–21 season, the club decided to expand its activities beyond youth levels and enter senior competitions. This decision came after securing a permanent sponsorship deal with M-Technologie, a company that is part of the Mabetex Group that had previously sponsored football in this village by sponsoring Hajvalia.[1]
The club initially competed in the third league, which is the fourth tier of football in Kosovo and in its inaugural season, the club earned promotion to the second league (third tier).[2] On 11 August 2023, following promotion to the first league (second tier), the club changed its name to KF Prishtina e Re.[3] Although initially thought to be a breakaway from the historic FC Prishtina, the name actually derives from a nearby residential complex of the same name.[4]
