'''Football Club Drita''' ({{langx|sq|Klubi Futbollistik Drita}}), commonly known as '''Drita''', is a professional football club based in Gjilan, Kosovo. The club competes in the Kosovo Superleague.

The club's home ground is the Gjilan City Stadium. It was built in 1947 when the club played within the Yugoslav league system. However, from 1990 until the end of the Kosovo War, the club split in two different clubs with one team staying as the official club, playing in the home stadium and league system.

==History== In 1947, Drita was founded by Gjilan citizens, the name Drita meaning 'light' in Albanian and the name was taken from other sports clubs from the city. In the beginning, conditions were difficult, even more so because the team rivaled the other team of the city, Crvena zvezda Gnjilane. Contrary to them, Drita founders and footballers were exclusively Albanians. This insistence in nationalistic differentiation meant that, in 1952 the team was abolished by the regime. Former footballers went to the already multi-ethnic team of Zvezda, but the team didn't get erased completely. They competed in the Kosovo Province League where they were declared champions in the 1962–63 season.<ref name=Drita>{{cite web|url=http://www.dritafc.com/about.html|title=Historia e FC Drita|trans-title=History of FC Drita|language=sq|publisher=FC Drita|access-date=27 August 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170819220637/http://dritafc.com/about.html|archive-date=19 August 2017|url-status=dead}}</ref>

===Post-1990=== In 1991, at the time of the dissolution of Yugoslavia. the football of Kosovo was in its zenith and consistently had 4-5 clubs in both federal leagues. But the deterioration of the political situation was also reflected in sports. In 1991, Albanian separatist complaining about the situation, formed the Football Federation of Kosovo with all its organs. Drita then joined the new league system in Kosovo, where they played in the fields of the mountains around the city of Gjilan.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ffk-kosova.com/federata/hostoriku/|title=Historiku|trans-title=History|publisher=Football Federation of Kosovo|access-date=2 October 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181003100820/http://www.ffk-kosova.com/federata/hostoriku/|archive-date=3 October 2018|url-status=dead}}</ref>

Under his management Drita managed to adorn the title of the Kosovo championship in 2002–03, win the cup in 2000–01 and be a runner-up in 1999–2000 and 2001–02. Drita also reached the semifinals in 1999–00, 2001–02, and 2002–03, breaking a Kosovo record that for four consecutive years did not descend below the third position and for four years at least until the semifinals of the Kosovar Cup.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://dritafc.com/rreth-nesh.html|title=Rreth nesh|trans-title=About us|language=sq|publisher=FC Drita|access-date=15 July 2018|archive-date=16 April 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190416112749/http://dritafc.com/rreth-nesh.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

After a game against Ballkani in which the supporters travelled to Suva Reka and just before a game against their biggest rival Gjilani, a meeting was held and the name {{nowrap|{{lang|sq|Intelektualët}} (Intellectuals)}} was assigned because most of the players were also writers, poets and politicians.<ref name=Intelektualët>{{cite web|url=http://tifozat.com/viewpage.php?page_id=11|title=Intelektualët|trans-title=Intellectuals|website=Tifozat|access-date=22 August 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170628221916/http://tifozat.com/viewpage.php?page_id=11|archive-date=28 June 2017|url-status=dead}}</ref>

The Intellectuals are the biggest ultras group in Kosovo, with many travels to watch games outside of Gjilan. They also have the record of audience in football of Kosovo: in a derby against Gjilani in 2011, 13,000 fans attended the game. In 2002, 30,000 fans travelled to the final of the Kosovar Cup in the Fadil Vokrri Stadium.<ref name=Intelektualët/>

===Incidents=== Also at {{nowrap|{{lang|sq|Intelektualët}} (Intellectuals)}} there are groups of hooligans who do incidents especially during the derby towards Gjilani.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://archive.koha.net/?id=&l=71877|title=Rrahja ndërmjet tifozëve në derbin Drita-Gjilani [video]|trans-title=Beating between fans in derby Drita-Gjilani [video|language=sq|publisher=Koha Ditore|date=23 August 2015|access-date=19 July 2018|archive-date=19 July 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180719234043/https://archive.koha.net/?id=&l=71877|url-status=live}}</ref>

But there are also other incidents with other groups, The incident with {{nowrap|{{lang|sq|Plisat}}}} of Prishtina was where during the last game of the championship there was attack on the fans of Prishtina, the worst incident was the violation of the fans of Prishtina by the hooligans from Gjilan where 13 fans were injured.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://zeri.info/sport/199620/momenti-kur-makina-e-intelektualeve-shkele-qellimisht-plisat-dhe-perleshja-mes-tifozeve/|title=Momenti kur makina e Intelektualëve shkelë qëllimisht Plisat dhe përleshja mes tifozëve|trans-title=The moment when the car of Intellectual intentionally violates the Plisat and the clash between the fans|language=sq|website=Zeri|access-date=19 July 2018|archive-date=19 July 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180719234403/http://zeri.info/sport/199620/momenti-kur-makina-e-intelektualeve-shkele-qellimisht-plisat-dhe-perleshja-mes-tifozeve/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://indeksonline.net/vetura-me-tabela-te-gjilanit-godet-tifozet-e-prishtines-ne-peje-video-foto/|title=Vetura me tabela të Gjilanit godet tifozët e Prishtinës në Pejë|trans-title=The car with vehicle plates of Gjilan strikes Pristina fans in Peja|language=sq|website=Indeksonline|access-date=19 July 2018|archive-date=20 July 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180720051705/http://indeksonline.net/vetura-me-tabela-te-gjilanit-godet-tifozet-e-prishtines-ne-peje-video-foto/|url-status=live}}</ref>

==Club rivalries== [[File:The Kosovo Derby at Gjilan City Stadium in 2018.jpg|thumb|250px|The Kosovo Derby at Gjilan City Stadium on 30 September 2018]]

===Gjilani=== {{see also|Gjilan Derby}} There is often a fierce rivalry between one of the two strongest teams in a national league and this is particularly the case in the Football Superleague of Kosovo, where the game between Drita and Gjilani is known as the Anamorava Derby. According to the tradition of the city of Gjilan, the party starts with fans organization, who try to give the maximum support for the respective clubs, there is also some surprise for the other opponent camp, to say that we were better and is appreciated more than what is presented to you with great curiosity about the whole city, what a presentation will be on the weekend from {{nowrap|{{lang|sq|Skifterat}} (Falcons)}} and {{nowrap|{{lang|sq|Intelektualët}} (Intellectuals)}}.

Three days before the match, the derby's recreational areas such as bars are flooded with people, everywhere in the cafe bars is an atmosphere that occurs only during national holidays, where fans are seen by both the {{nowrap|{{lang|sq|Skifterat}} (Falcons)}} and {{nowrap|{{lang|sq|Intelektualët}} (Intellectuals)}} to anticipate the soccer match.

One hour before the match, the two camps are organized in groups and always avoid eventual incidents between the two ultras groups. They divide the streets from where they will go to the stadium, which is good, because the Kosovo Police organised themselves in a way to avoid the breakdown of this holiday and the much anticipated confrontation in Gjilan.

For a brief few moments, everything apart from the dozens of flares that littered the pitch, that'd had disappeared from view. Gone were the two white minarets that usually overlook the stadium in eastern Kosovo. Gone too were the lines of riot police patrolling the front of the main stand along with the 10,000 strong crowd, all enveloped in a monstrous blue cloud of smoke. On the other side of the pitch, a similar scene was being played out, but the consuming cloud was red. The only evidence of a football match being played was the thunderous noise of drums and chants rising ethereally from the fog.<ref>{{cite web|title=Kosovo: new nation, fresh problems|url=http://www.worldsoccer.com/features/kosovo-new-nation-fresh-problems-390837#jzZlcKyWupdVDG3g.99|website=Worldsoccer.com|date=20 November 2016|publisher=James Montague|access-date=20 November 2016|archive-date=23 November 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161123152018/http://www.worldsoccer.com/features/kosovo-new-nation-fresh-problems-390837#jzZlcKyWupdVDG3g.99|url-status=live}}</ref>

==Kit evolution== After the war, the financial condition of clubs did not allow them to look after their kits, it happened that within a season the club's shirts have changed.
