With memories of the golden years (80's) of the albanian football still fresh on her mind, Albania is now attempting to recreate its strong football legacy. As young players start making their names abroad, the future is looking bright for Albanian football!

Including the Georgia match Albania has 3 more friendlies to prepare for the Euros. In reality it needs 20 more.. even in a fixed friendly they couldn't string 3 passes together.
Only three??

Teams play a lot more around late May before a major tournament, is this cause of a increase in teams this year or just Albanian failure to get friendlies done

We can always fix up friendlies with other EURO teams. No big deal.

They should play more often if it gathers this much crowd. They could even do something good with the money they get in the ticket sales.

I'm pretty sure 3 games is the norm teams use before big tournaments. I'm afraid the FSHF are gonna draw some weak friendlies against Azerbaijan and Bulgaria and call it a day.

But who knows maybe it's best for our guys to come in the tournament with no expectations and pull of an opening surprise like we did against Portugal.

What's worrying is DB's tactics. Starting both CIkaleshi and Sadiku(of all people) is laughable. And Aliji and Memushaj as the wingers? :o

Albania will play a friendly in march and maybe 1 in late may-start of june , that's what De Biasi said. He doesn't want to risk injuries on players in friendlies pre euro2016 finals . He also said that the only friendly just before the finals start might be against a serie D team as our team will be training in Trentino-Alto adice or Valle D'Aosta here in Italy.

Thanks Artan, didn't know we had that match until late this year and actually always thought we played Kosova only in the 3:2 match when Balaj scored. What a change though for Kosova football, at the time 2002 there were only two-three players from Kosova playing for Albania and their football pool was so limited but now they could build one of the continental strongest teams .
