Albania plays with Latvia tonight, high support expected from tribunes

That is because a relatively large number of Albanian fans in the city are expected for the match in question.

In advance, it becomes known that there will be at least 500 present fans who have travelled for the match, but that number can rise significantly. So to avoid problems that may arise “The Freedom Chief” will be with limited access during the hours of this day.

In fact, in local media this is interpreted more as a general test, not that riots are expected from Albanian fans, as two matches they name higher risk matches with regard to fans, those with Serbia in September and England in October will later be played in this town.

Police leaders in Riga indicated there will be no fan activities in this square, especially near the” Liberty Manual”. Police announced that in case of need, the square would be completely closed to avoid any vandalism. Order forces had faced criticism after Ajax fans had destroyed parts of the square with their acts recently. /Periscope/
