After an exciting September, October brings a full schedule of matches for all Albanian national teams. From the senior men’s squad to the youth teams and the women’s national team, every team will take the field to represent Albania.

The senior men’s team will travel to Leskovac to face Serbia on October 11. This is a key match in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. On October 14, they return to “Air Albania” Stadium for a friendly against Jordan.

The senior women’s team faces a crucial month, with two matches against Cyprus that will decide their fate in next season’s Nations League.

The U-21 men’s team will play San Marino at “Air Albania” on October 10. The U-19 and U-17 teams will hold preparatory friendlies against Ireland and Slovenia.

October also marks the start of two major tournaments hosted by the Albanian Football Association. The UEFA European Women’s Under-17 Championship qualifiers and the UEFA Development U-15 tournament will take place across the country.

The U-17 girls will face Greece, Israel, and Estonia in Elbasan and Rrogozhinë. The U-15 boys will compete against Armenia, North Macedonia, and Kosovo at the “House of Football.”

It promises to be a full month of Albanian football, with big challenges and decisive matches for all teams.
