Following two successful friendlies against Liechtenstein, the Albanian U-19 National Team has scheduled two more friendly matches for September against Turkey. The Communication Department of the Albanian Football Federation (FSHF) announced that the respective federations have agreed to play these matches in Turkey next month.

The first match, under the guidance of coach Julian Ahmataj, is set for September 6 at 16:00, with the second match scheduled for September 8, also at 16:00.

The U-19 team will begin their training camp in Turkey on September 2, with the final squad list to be announced soon by coach Julian Ahmataj.

Just a few days ago, the Albanian U-19 team secured two resounding victories in friendlies against Liechtenstein. The main goal of these friendlies is not only to fine-tune the final squad for the upcoming UEFA U-19 European Championship qualifiers, where the team will aim to advance to the Elite Round, but also to boost team morale and foster a winning spirit.

UEFA’s draw has placed Albania in Group 11, alongside Israel, Denmark, and Northern Ireland, with the group matches scheduled to take place in Albania on November 13, 16, and 19, 2024.

According to UEFA regulations, the top two teams from each group will advance to the Elite Round, along with the best third-placed team across all groups in these qualifiers. The final stage of the U-19 European Championship will take place in Romania next year.
