FSHF has been officially notified by FIFA of a disciplinary decision after the Albania match

The FSHF is fined 161,500 Swiss francs and the obligation that the next house fight against Latvia be played at least 20% of the stadium's closed capacity for the public.

This sentence comes because of the repeated inappropriate and discriminated behaviour of a part of Albanian fans (cong with discrimination content, object throw, fireworks flares, the use of inappropriate gestures or messages for a sporting event, as well as disruptions during national anthems).

This decision is a serious penalisation for the entire football community and damages not only the Federation, but above all the Nationals. The FSHF calls on all National fans to avoid any actions that could harm our team, respect international rules and contribute to a dignified atmosphere in support of Albania.

Only united and responsible can we support the National as it deserves.
