The height, weight, diameters, volumes and skin folds were measured on a sample of 242 young soccer players from the Republic of Kosovo and therefore, the body composition, somatotype components, BMI index and maximum oxygen consumption. These were indirectly measured in order to determine their common morphological and functional features and analyz e specificity i.e., the likely differences based on the playing positions (goalkeepers, defense, middle players and attackers). W ithin the statistical analysis, the basic descriptive statistical parameters were calculated, and a multivariate and univariate analysis of v ri nce and post-hoc analysis were applied. Goalkeepers have statistically significantly higher body height and humeral breadth, and lower v lues of maximum oxygen consumption, in comparison to players who play the other positions on the team and higher body weight regarding the players who play in the middle and the attackers. Defense players have statistically significant higher body weight than the mi ddle players. In the other anthropometric measures and somatotype components, there are no statistically significant differences amo ng th players who play on different positions in the team. The achieved results could serve as normative morphological and functional indicat rs for regular sports medical examinations of young soccer players in the Republic of Kosovo. They could also be used as a templat e for comparison of the morphological and functional data of young soccer players at similar level in different countries.
