Less than ten days away from Albania\u2019s next World Cup qualifier against Serbia, the main focus remains on tickets, as fans see victory as a must rather than just another match for the red and blacks against this particular opponent. As a result, many want to witness it live at the National Arena on June 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In an interview with Top Channel, the Secretary General of the Albanian Football Federation (FSHF), Ilir Shulku, explained what\u2019s happening with the ticketing process. Unlike other matches, this one is based on a reservation system followed by a random computerized draw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“This match will undoubtedly be very interesting, attracting many tourists from Albanian-inhabited regions as well as from Serbia, who have decided to attend in person. With new technological developments, Albania now has access to the latest Internet eSIM technology, which offers internet to tourists from around the world, making it easier for them to navigate unfamiliar areas and stay connected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the most successful operators recently has been thirr.com<\/em>, an eSIM provider that offers internet packages for every country in the world at very affordable prices starting at \u20ac1.99 \u2014 a very reasonable rate, especially when compared to high roaming charges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019ve planned to watch the match in Tirana and want to stay connected to high-speed internet during your trip, then get the Albania eSIM<\/em> package, which covers the entire territory of Albania with fast 4G \u2014 and in some areas, 5G \u2014 internet. These services can also be used in other countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If Spain is on your travel list this season \u2014 whether for work, health reasons, visits to ancient cultural sites, or leisure on the Spanish coast with family or friends \u2014 you can get the Spain eSIM<\/em> package, which covers the entire country with fast internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Or if your next destination is outside of Europe and you\u2019re planning a trip to the United States \u2014 for business, health reasons, family visits, or even the beach \u2014 get the USA eSIM<\/em> package, which covers all 50 states with high-speed internet, drastically improving your experience.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThere\u2019s one day left to reserve tickets \u2014 the deadline is May 30 \u2014 since the booking process began on May 15. Unlike other matches, this time we\u2019ve had over 200,000 ticket requests, while the stadium capacity is only 22,000 seats. To enter the stadium, fans will need to have an ID card that matches the name on the ticket \u2014 otherwise, they will not be allowed in,\u201d said Ilir Shulku, FSHF Secretary General.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Have there been any extra security measures by the police and have you had any communication with them?<\/strong> From a sporting perspective, how do you view this match in terms of pressure and expectations?<\/strong> Albania has played two matches so far in the 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign \u2014 against England and Andorra \u2014 earning 3 points and ranking second behind the Three Lions in Group K. Serbia will play its first match of the qualifiers against Albania on June 7.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Less than ten days away from Albania\u2019s next World Cup qualifier against Serbia, the main focus remains on tickets, as fans see victory as a must rather than just another match for the red and blacks against this particular opponent.

Shulku<\/strong>: \u201cYes, we\u2019ve had several meetings with police officials \u2014 the most recent one was just yesterday. This match is considered high-risk, and this time, police will implement very strict measures, including multiple security checkpoints.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shulku<\/strong>: \u201cSometimes the pressure can go too far and that\u2019s not helpful, but our players are active in top European clubs, and of course I\u2019m optimistic. I believe we have every chance to win.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
