Switzerland bans the eagle gesture to Albanian players

After the double-headed eagle gestures from Granit Xhaka and Xherdan Shaqiri at the 2018 World Cup, the sensational victory over Serbia became a matter of fact.

In Switzerland, in FIFA and especially in Serbia, the gestures caused much discussion and indignation.

The two teams will meet again on December 2 at Qatar's 974 Stadium. The double-headed eagle should no longer be a problem there.

Immediately after the group draw on April 1, 2022, Tami and the Swiss delegation met the coach of the Serbian national team, Dragan Stojkovic.

In May of this year, association president Dominique Blanc and general secretary Robert Breiter then met with their counterparts from the Serbian Football Federation.

During the conversation, the Serbs reiterated that the Serbian team should only deal with football. However, it is unclear whether fans and politicians will also adhere to it. We remember that Xherdan Shaqiri was insulted by Serbian fans throughout the 2018 match.

Tami: "We don't want to make the same mistakes again. We are here to play football and nothing else. We do not want to send any political or religious message".

So does this mean Tami has put a ban on the double-headed eagle?

Tami : "There should be no words, no gestures, and no general behavior that provokes other sensitivities. When we cheer, it's to show our joy, that's important. But we should not be provocative".
