FC Zürich Captain Lindrit Kamberi Earns First Kosovo Call-Up
Seven years after his last appearance for the under-20 national team, FC Zürich captain Lindrit Kamberi has earned his first senior call-up to the Kosovo national squad, Blick reported on November 4, 2026. The 27-year-old central defender is slated to join the team for the upcoming Nations League matches against Israel and Ireland, with a potential debut scheduled for November 14 in Pristina.
Kamberi enters the international break following a strong run of form in the domestic league with FC Zürich, currently sitting fourth in the standings after 12 matches with 20 points. The club, positioned behind FC Lugano, BSC Young Boys, and FC Sion, relies heavily on players developed through its own academy. Kamberi has spent over nine years wearing club colors, evolving into an undisputed leader and figurehead of the squad through years of on-field turbulence.
Kamberi last represented Swiss youth selections at the U20 level approximately seven years ago. His consistent performances in the central defense have now secured him a spot on the international stage under Kosovo’s selection.
