It is not worth asking in any survey whether Albanians support our national football team. It is not even worth asking about the Kosovo national football team (even though it is not a national team). But in a rigorous survey that I recently conducted in the field from Vermoshi to Konispol, I asked, among other things, the question “Which national team do you support in football, besides our national team?”
The Italian national team is supported by about 30% of adult residents in Albania, despite the fact that it failed to qualify for the World Cup that is just beginning. Since Albania has 1.9 million adult residents, it is estimated that about 570 thousand support Italy, excluding Albania (see table above).
Germany ranks second with 12% or about 228 thousand adult residents, followed by Brazil, England, Spain, the Netherlands and Argentina. Meanwhile, 27% or 513 thousand do not support any of the foreign football national teams.
