The fans of the national team in Albania and Kosovo have expressed their revolt after the news that the Albanian Football Federation wants to organize the European football championship under the age of 21, together with Serbia.
The messages have been among the most diverse on social networks, against this idea, which, according to the AFL, is being done to help Serbia after it applied alone but did not meet the conditions.
Among them, the message of the Red and Black fans, one of the most ardent fan groups of the national team, draws attention, who say that with this decision Kosovo is being ignored, while "FSHF" is selling its face by cooperating with the Serbs, who do not leave room in the stadiums. unfurling banners and singing anti-Albanian songs.
TKZ's full message:
The news about the organization of the European Championship of Hope (U21) 2027 by Serbia has been circulating since the beginning of March 2024. In this news, it is announced that Serbia is applying alone to organize this European. In the same news reports, it is written that Serbia "may be asked by UEFA to organize the championship together with Albania".
Serbia, in addition to crimes and genocide against Albanians, has been punished in several cases by UEFA for its racist and violent fans up to murder. As for the direct sports relations between Albania and Serbia, we do not believe that the scenes, calls, criminal for the slaughter and killing of Albanians, the attacks on our players on October 14, 2014, and the terror against the delegation have been forgotten. Similar slogans continue to be spread by Serbian fans in matches where the Albanian teams are not involved at all. No apologies have been asked for any of this, on the contrary, they have fought "sportingly" against us up to the highest levels of sports courts.
Given that sport is often and rightly used to promote peace, cooperation, understanding and hope, falsehood, facade, propaganda and at best PR should be organized and "sold" to the public a little more professionally . So it would be good for the AFL to show whether it has previously requested to organize U21 Euro 2027 together with North Macedonia, or with Montenegro? As long as we do not meet the technical requirements, we should not sell our face and ethnic interests. We have plenty of neighbors, why do we bypass Kosovo to help Serbia?
