You guys probably know better than me but Gjici invests in his club, even if Kukesi is so small of a city. He puts other owners to shame that have bigger cities that aren't doing anything with their teams. You may complain about Gjici's political involvement but he's probably the only owner (with the exception of Olsi Rama who has been spoonfed) that has the wits and IQ to do so, probably because this guy has outside business ventures. Other owners are too busy fixing league matches and european qualifying matches. The other owners are probably getting so jealous that Kukesi is getting a new stadium with the government and federation financing the entire stadium pretty much. I really can't blame the guy, like I said he's playing chess while everyone else is playing checkers.

I looked at it from the prism of an Albanian football fan and investing in Kukes is an absolute waste of money from a footballing perspective. There are certain football hotbeds in Albania (like Tirana, Shkoder & Vlora) and the money would have been better spent there for example.

Beautiful

It's definitely beautiful. People hating it because of the capacity, other facilities added, etc. are so full of shit. But there is a political element into it as well as plain ignorance. Most modern stadiums nowadays are multi-functional. Just the times we live in.

Keep in mind that countries like Croatia, Serbia are still rocking communist shithole stadiums... This is the best thing to happen to Albanian football since Euro 16 and Skenderbeu qualifying for EL twice.

Now the FSHF needs to start making upgrades to stadiums that superliga teams play in. And to their credit some improvement has been made over the past 5 years like Kukesi's upcoming stadium and Vllaznia's stadium. But there are three teams are pretty much playing in Selman Stermasi stadium currently and it's a shame Partizani never went through with their project.

I think the next step should be just having a few stadiums go through Elbasan arena type renovations at 1-2 mil euro each. Because some of those stadiums look straight out of the 1950s.

Let’s be real that one side is absolutely terrible..this looks more a movie theatre than a stadium. On the tv broadcast only will it will look normal because they will record from the bad side..the tower is extra too imo compared to what we had before it’s good but that’s not saying much and stadiums cannot be rebuilt every year..

Totally disagree with everything said , you do know that tower isn’t just random , it’s a hotel/restaurant. Extra revenue

Which other 3 sided stadium have you seen in the world and with a shopping mall and hotel inside..
