Who will join us for the WC Qual 2018?

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!

The best solution would be to have one national team and two different leagues so you'll have at least 8 teams every year participating in Europe.

The worst case scenario FSHF should start poaching Albanians from Macedonia who previously seemed to have been off limits due to an agreement between the two FAs.

Can someone explain the details of this agreement to me? What does the Albanian FA get in return? Does the Macedonian FA not go after all those bright Macedonian prospects in Albania? Kind of seems like a one sided deal if you ask me.

There is no actual agreement in place just an understanding. It is driven by the fragile state of the Macedonians nation state and the appearance of us undermining their "independence" if we were to poach Albanian players born there. Most importantly imo it's the lack of any good Albanian talents coming out of Macedonia that has driven our policy so far. Our talents from Kosova have been plentiful so there was no real need so far. That will change imo once Kosova fields its own team. So I guess that's the silver lining.
