No doubt it is the result of the contribution of the work of all football players, trainers and the entire Albanian football community to have a place in running European football. UEFA is a sports organisation, uniting all European federations and its governing bodies are undoubtedly making decisions for the benefit of European football in general, and that means that being in a U leadership post EFA, then the post of Z. The President, it doesn't make you one-sided decisions regardless of the Federation where he comes from, but I'm glad he will make my contribution to European football, to his development strategies, though not even with the daily or administrative decisions that the Executive Committee will have to make. U n EFA for the benefit of football at large”, the FSHF president said.

“The decision made today by the U The EFA for organising the 2025 European Championship finals for the U-17 age in Albania is certainly very good news for Albanian football, I can say it is the best news in recent years. This is a very large activity where 16 teams from all over Europe will participate, I can say that it has much more and much bigger than the U finale. EFA Conference League, but from the point of view of representation. So the future of football, young people from all over Europe, the best perspectives will come to play in Albania, in four Albanian stadiums, in Air Albania, (Loro Borici), “Egnatia Arena” and )Elbasan Arena). Of course, it takes a lot of work to do its organization best. We have given, we have received many guarantees even for joint investments with the Albanian government. It's not just matches, it's not just the qualifications to the finals, it's also team preparation, their accommodation, training facilities that are requirements that we don't have right now, but we're convinced we're going to meet by 2025. This is the biggest sporting event that ever took place in Albania, it's a bigger event than the Conference League, it's the biggest possible event that we can organise with infrastructure, or with a place like that of ion”, the president of the FSHF, who finally has an appeal for all to turn the Euro-17 finals into a success story and create a positive climate throughout the tour.

I am convinced that the staff, the administration of the Albanian Football Federation, in collaboration with the U administration The EFA will organise a very good activity, an activity at high professional levels. In this case, I want to call on everyone to support this activity, as all actors instead of being positive and supportive, whether local powers where they will be played, whether the schools or the Ministry of Education, or, of course, central power. Being together, having a positive climate, I'm sure we'll have a model championship, just as we had a final setting of the Model League. I also urge everyone to support him and fill the stadiums. To create a truly festive, positive atmosphere throughout the games, from the first day to the final of the European Championship under 17 years of age to Air Albania”, President Duka said.
