Elseid Hysaj will take to the field of the “Air Albania” stadium today for the friendly match against Luxembourg, once again holding the captain's armband of the Albanian National Team. Although Berat Gjimshiti will be in the starting lineup, the captain of the day will be Hysaj due to the special historical importance that this match carries.
The red-and-black defender will record his 100th appearance with the Albanian jersey today, becoming the first footballer in the history of the national team to reach this figure.
This moment places Hysaj among a select group of footballers on the international stage. According to FIFA data, he becomes the 677th player in the world to reach the threshold of 100 matches with the national team.
At the same time, Albania joins the list of 121 countries that have at least one footballer with 100 appearances for their national team, marking another important moment in the history of Albanian football.
The match against Luxembourg is expected to have a special symbolism for Hysaj, who for years has been one of the most important figures in the national team, contributing to some of its greatest successes in the international arena.
