Albania’s national football team is currently playing against England at Wembley in the first qualifying round for the 2026 World Cup.
What caught attention during the match was a banner displayed at the stadium by the Tifozët Kuq e Zi (Red and Black Fans). The banner read: “Football is not business, it is passion. 21 years present, you cannot drive us away.”
This message comes after the Albanian Football Federation (FSHF) recently decided not to allocate tickets for organized fan groups, a move that was met with strong disapproval from the fans.
The fans’ message highlights the deep connection and passion they have for the national team, emphasizing that football, for them, is more than just a business venture.
