🤝 Meet Kreshnik Berisha, a Rutgers–Newark alumnus turning his vision for community into a global celebration.
The Class of 2024 Global Affairs graduate is the creator of the Newark Fan Village in the Ironbound, bringing together soccer, culture, food, and community during the FIFA World Cup âš˝
As founder of Sihana Hospitality Group, Berisha owns several Newark favorites, including Five Corners Ristorante, Sihana Café, and Sihana Bistro. Through the Fan Village, he's showcasing the city's multicultural spirit while creating opportunities for local businesses, artists, and residents.
“It’s the world’s sport,” said Berisha. “That’s why it’s called the beautiful game.”
Berisha credits Rutgers–Newark with helping him build the partnerships and navigate the complexities of organizing an international event.
“These relationships were built on the strength of having attended Rutgers,” he said. “The skills I developed are instrumental when you’re putting together a festival like this.”
