In Warsaw, everything seems ready for this Thursday's match, where the Albanian national football team will challenge Poland in the "play-off" semi-final for the 2026 World Cup. The match is considered crucial for the Rossoneri's ambitions towards a historic qualification.
Coach Silvinjo has published the list of 23 players gathered for this challenge, as well as the numbers that each of them will wear on their jersey.
One of the most notable changes is the absence of Yasir Asani, who will be watching the match from the stands. As a result, the number 9 jersey has been entrusted to Anis Mehmeti, who returns to the national team after a long period of absence.
Meanwhile, due to injury, Rei Manaj has not been selected for this match. His number 7 will be worn by Adrion Pajaziti.
Two new names also stand out on Silvinjo's list: Stavro Pilo and Bujar Pllana, who will wear the jersey numbers 19 and 15, respectively.
This match against Poland comes at a key moment for Albania, where every detail, from player selection to managing absences, can affect the final result.
