Albania take on Serbia in a politically-charged Group K third-round encounter in the FIFA World Cup 2026 Qualifiers on Saturday, 7 June, at the Arena Kombetare in Tirana. An infamous 바카라˜drone바카라™ incident in 2014 made this a fixture steeped in political tension, and on the field, both teams are in contention to secure a place in next year바카라™s main event.
Albania recently secured a 3-0 victory over Andorra, with Rey Manaj grabbing a brace and Myrto Uzuni adding a late goal. That was the perfect response from manager Sylvinho, after Albania suffered a 2-0 loss against England in Thomas Tuchel바카라™s debut.
The Red and Blacks are still vying for a place in their first-ever World Cup finals, but will face stiff opposition from the other members in Group K 바카라“ England, and their next opponent, Serbia.
Dragan Stojkovic바카라™s Serbian side are beginning their qualifying journey after a successful Nations League playoff against Austria, securing their place in League A. Despite a strong squad on paper, Serbia have suffered from poor away form, with goalless defeats to Denmark and Spain, and draws against Switzerland and Austria.
The Eagles are unbeaten in their last four games ahead of their trip to Tirana, and will look for a positive result to put their qualifying campaign back on track.
Ahead of the clash, heavy security 바카라“ approximately 2,000 police officers, including special forces and counter-terrorism units 바카라“ have been deployed. Anti-drone technology has been installed, and away fans are barred from attending.
All this preparation is done to prevent the incident from 2014 from repeating, where a drone carrying a 바카라˜Greater Albania바카라™ flag descended on the field, leading to chaos on and off the pitch and the match being abandoned.
