Albania and Serbia will face off tonight in Tirana as part of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, in what is expected to be a highly charged match—both emotionally and athletically.
The Red and Blacks (Kuqezinjtë) have 3 points from two matches, while this will be Serbia’s first game in the group. Given the historic tensions between the two teams, the match has drawn significant attention. However, both sides have called for calm and are emphasizing the importance of fair play.
Albania’s coach Sylvinho and captain Berat Gjimshiti, along with Serbia’s Dragan Stojković and striker Aleksandar Mitrović, have avoided provocative statements, keeping the focus strictly on the game.
The atmosphere in Tirana is expected to be electric, as both teams aim for a vital win to stay on track in the qualifying campaign.
