MOSCOW — After years of trying and failing, Kosovo’s soccer association finally got what it wanted two years ago when FIFA granted it full membership, welcoming it into a club of more than 200 national federations.

FIFA membership meant Kosovo, which is still battling for recognition at the United Nations 10 years after declaring independence from Serbia, could compete for a place at this summer’s World Cup in Russia. But while its team would have been welcome inside stadiums here, Kosovo’s flag apparently is not.

The flag — which depicts a gold map of Kosovo under six white stars on a blue background — is one of more than two dozen barred from World Cup stadiums by tournament organizers. It is listed on a seven-page document, alongside flags representing Taiwan and prerevolutionary Iran and also a variety of separatist movements. The flags of terrorist groups like the Islamic State are cited as well.
