The Albanian national football team faces Serbia tonight in Leskovac in a 2026 World Cup qualifying match, a game widely seen as a “final” for second place in the group — a position that secures a play-off spot for the World Cup.
Albania currently sits second with eight points, just one point ahead of Serbia, which has one game in hand.
The fixture has been classified as high-risk by FIFA, which has deployed two security officers to Serbia to oversee safety measures. The Serbian Football Federation has not released any tickets for public sale, while the 6,500 spectators in attendance will be selected guests, including youth players from football academies.
