Alarico Rossi, chief of the FSHF Scouts department, has described their method of recruiting players like Ivan Balliu, a successful example from Spain, which now plays for Rayo Vallecano.

“We arrived in Albania after the 2016 European Championship to build a new team. The situation was difficult, but we achieved our goal by finding the skills needed to improve our national team”, Rossi said.

The system used by the FSHF for recruiting is sophisticated, integrating information into a comprehensive database that allows the team to identify and propose potential players for coach.
