Albanian fans threw objects into the field, used pyrotechnics, displayed flags that according to the rules are not allowed to appear at football matches, and one of them even ran into the field
The European Football Federation (UEFA) has initiated disciplinary proceedings against the Football Association of Albania due to the behavior of the fans of that national team at the European Championship match played on Saturday in Dortmund against Italy, it writes. Radio Free Europe.
According to UEFA's statement, Albania's fans threw various objects into the field and used pyrotechnics, and one of them even entered the field towards the end of the match.
It was also stated that the fans of Albania displayed provocative messages "inappropriate for a sports event", but it was not specified which messages these were.
Some Albanian fans displayed the flags and symbols of the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) and the flag of "Greater Albania", as evidenced by numerous posts on social networks.
A photo appeared on the X social network showing that an Albanian fan hung a map of "Greater Albania" in the stadium's stands, which includes, among other things, parts of the internationally recognized borders of Serbia, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Greece, such as Sandลพak, Presevo valley, southern Epirus, Ioannina, Corfu and Ulcinj.
The map in question is similar to the one that was raised by a drone in October 2014 above the "Partizana" stadium, which caused the interruption of the qualifying match for the 2016 European Championship between Serbia and Albania.
It was not specified what punishment awaits the Football Association of Albania, but UEFA announced that its control, ethical and disciplinary body will decide on it "in due course".
That is not the only incident for which they accuse the fans of Albania, because according to the testimonies of some fans of Serbia, they were physically attacked by a group of Albanian fans before the game that Serbia played against England on Sunday in Gelsenkirchen.
