The Albanian Football Federation's Communications Department announces that the friendly match between Japan U-21 and Albania U-21, scheduled to take place on March 27 in Antalya, Turkey, has also been canceled.

The Japanese Football Federation has notified the Albanian Football Federation that, due to the situation in the Middle East and for security reasons, it has decided to cancel the trip to Turkey, making it impossible to hold this friendly match.

Following the cancellation of two scheduled matches in Antalya, against the United States U-21 and Japan U-21, the Albanian Football Federation is considering options to find other opponents for the U-21 National Team in the same period.
