Armand Duka, President of the Albanian Football Federation, shared an emotional message on social media expressing strong support for the Kosovo national team ahead of tonight’s critical match against Turkey.
In his Facebook post, Duka highlighted the close bond between the Albanian and Kosovo national teams, despite their separate representations.
“Perhaps today we could have been two… but even so, we are one. With the pride that Albania gives us and the hope that Kosovo brings, stay strong, our boys!” he wrote, conveying a message of unity and motivation.
The statement comes at a pivotal moment for Kosovo, which is pursuing historic results on the international stage and aiming for qualification to the FIFA World Cup 2026.
Duka’s message is being widely seen as a symbolic and open endorsement that transcends sports, reinforcing a shared national identity. Fans have positively received the post, sharing it broadly as a call for solidarity and support for the “Dardanians” in the decisive challenges ahead.
The play-off final against Turkey is scheduled for tonight at Fadil Vokrri Stadium in Prishtina, starting at 20:45.
