In Vlora, this Saturday the project for the new Flamurtari stadium will be selected. Prime Minister Edi Rama was present at this activity, while he said that with the construction of the stadiums, it will not only improve the sports climate, but will also increase the income of businesses in the coastal city.
He added that projects for stadiums in the country will continue together with the Albanian Football Federation.
"K is not the third final of this transformation process of the football infrastructure, but also of the urban texture. With this, we want to win not only stadiums, but also new centers of social and economic life, which will increase the quality of life. these three stadiums are not the end of a started effort, but are only the continuation. After these projects, we will sit down with the federation, which will be the next wagons that will join this train. We will open the second construction site of the "Selman Stermasi" stadium in Tirana, with a Public Private Partner. Today is the time to build it, because you know that Vlora experienced a situation of isolation and in recent years it has risen to a level and has become a visited city", said Rama.

"For us, sport is now a priority not only written, but a priority announced through action. We are working to have an academy in Vlora, with the support of a major club in Europe. The new mayors will have a lot of pressure from me, to create conditions for the AFL to start with new investments for the fields for children. We will also create a campus in Vlora ", said Rama
