Eight as none, Albanian teams fail in Europe

But none of them managed to pass the first preliminary round in two European club races: The Champions League and the League of Europe. Pristina was even eliminated without reaching the first round, in that elimination of the League of Europe, writes Koha Ditore today.

Albanians represented three championship teams in the Champions League. Fernikli represented Kosovo, Partizan Albania and the Northern Macedonia Division. All three champions failed in the first round, but the racing system of U n EFA enables them to be carried to the League of Europe for the second round. So they have another chance.

But for teams like Pristina, Kukesi, Teuta, Laci and Skopje, there is no second possibility, since they competed in the League of Europe and failed in the first obstacle.

Fernikelli in the first round of “Chongones” was eliminated by the Wales champion The New Saints, after passing the preliminary round, where he defeated two teams.

The idea was surprised by the Estonians of Kalju Nomme, until Partizan suffered from the Azerbaijann Crabach.
