Duke has asked fans to focus on supporting the team and to cause incidents that, according to him, do not help anyone.
We do co-operation with organisational institutions. And we call all supporters to see it as a football game. Co-operate with us to have a positive organization, with the emotions of a football match. Incidents don't help anyone. Let's back up the team and move forward”, he's been declared for the FSF official page.
Duke has expressed expectations for an electrifying atmosphere in the stadium and hopes that intense pressure will serve as motivation for players.
From a sports standpoint, I think it's hard and there's pressure on the guys who play. Requests are high and the stadium will be crowded. I hope it's not the pressure to suppress our team, but it's an incentive to grow toward a positive result. I hope our team uses it positively”, he says.
The president of the FSHF has also commented on the joint organisation of the U21 European Championship for 2027, to be held in Albania and Serbia a decision that has sparked numerous reactions to public and football opinion.
The decision to win a championship with Serbia is not easy. This is a sports organization. The championships will be played in two different countries. The message to me is positive. We should look forward. The world speaks of peaceful relationships and development, so our children should not leave war, but peace”, Duka has declared./Periscopi/
