The President of the Albanian Football Federation, Armand Duka, expressed his pride in the national team today, stating that this team makes us prouder every day.

In a social media reaction following today’s match against Croatia, Duka said, “Today against Croatia, we played very well and deserved much more than one point. We had the opportunities and could have finished the match in the first half. 

We couldn’t do it, found ourselves at a disadvantage, and yet the boys showed character and managed to equalize. We had a strong desire to win, but this is football, and we have to accept the result.

Now let’s think positively about Spain, go on the field, and give our best. I have a lot of faith in the team, as should all Albanians.”

President Duka also mentioned and thanked the national team’s 12th player, the red-and-black fans, to whom he expressed endless gratitude for their support of the national team at EURO2024.

Today, the Albanian national team played its second match in EURO2024 in Hamburg, which was valid for Group B, earning its first point after drawing with Croatia. After two matches, Albania is ranked third in Group B, with the same points as Croatia but with a better goal difference. Tomorrow at 21:00, the clash between Italy and Spain is awaited with great interest.
