Albania takes to the field today in a key match for their qualification hopes, but without the full support of their fans. The duel against Latvia, which takes place at 20:45 at “Air Albania”, will be played without the presence of the Red and Black Fans on the stadium steps, as a result of a penalty imposed by FIFA.
The Albanian Football Federation has been punished with a 20% reduction in stadium capacity due to the behavior of Albanian fans in the June 7 match against Serbia. The offensive chants and inappropriate chants have been deemed a serious violation by FIFA, which has taken immediate measures. As a result, the stands where the TKZ group usually sits are empty.
The stadium is expected to hold around 16,500 spectators, far fewer than the full capacity of “Air Albania.” The lack of a more organized group of fans has left a significant void in the atmosphere that usually characterizes national team matches.
Despite the penalty, the Rossoneri are forced to take the 3 points to keep their hopes of qualifying for the next stages alive. Coach Silvinjo has demanded maximum concentration and has called for positive and civilized support from the fans present.
