Kosovo's National Football Team, whom many countries refuse to play because they don't recognize the nation's statehood, will play Haiti at an exhibition game after Jamaica pulled out due to political tensions in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Kosovo declared its sovereignty in 2008, but Serbia refuses to accept it, considering it governed by the UN military. Yugoslavia created a unified Province of Kosovo and Serbia after World War II, but Kosovo rebelled and finally won a provisional independence in 2008.
