Today at 16:30, the women’s volleyball final will be held in Tirana. After the semifinals, we have reached the grand final for the “Federation Cup.”

Skënderbeu won against Teuta, and Tirana defeated Partizan. It seems that these two teams will also be rivals this season, but the people from Korça want to start with a trophy.

Captain Elena Bego invites everyone to watch this match, and of course, many people from Korça will be present at the game, while many others will follow it through the media.

After the 2-1 victory against Ukraine, the Albanian national team has immediately started preparations for the second Nations League match against Georgia.

The Red and Blacks held a training session on Saturday morning at the Sparta Prague training center.

In this session, the players who started against Ukraine only did some physical exercises without the ball, while those who did not play or came on as substitutes had a more intense and tactical training.

The Communication Department of the Albanian Football Association (FSHF) informs that the training session lasted about an hour, and all players are in good condition without physical issues. The national team is expected to arrive in Tirana this afternoon and will be accommodated immediately at the hotel.

Albania will conclude its preparations for the match against Georgia tomorrow. Initially, coach Silvinho will hold an official press conference at the “Air Albania” stadium at 18:30. Afterwards, the Red and Black team will go onto the field for the final training session.

The Albania vs. Georgia match will be played on Tuesday, September 10, at 20:45, at the Red and Black stadium “Air Albania”. Support for the national team will be at its peak, as almost all tickets for the match have been sold.

Skënderbeu vs. Tirana is the FSHV Women’s Volleyball Cup Final today, scheduled to start at 16:30.

Yesterday, Skënderbeu was the first team to secure a spot in the final after defeating Teuta 3-0 in the “Farka” arena. The other semifinal was then played between Partizani and Tirana, with the blue-and-white girls emerging victorious.

Thus, today at 16:30, the women’s final between Skënderbeu and Tirana will take place.

Of course, Skënderbeu is the main contender for winning the FSHV Cup trophy, and a beautiful and competitive match is expected on the court.

In this new season, Skënderbeu’s objective is to win all the trophies, and the first one is up for grabs today. The red-and-white girls are expected to return to the southeastern city with their first trophy of the season.

Go Skënderbeu! Go girls! You are the best!

The Korçë Academy has produced many talents, and one of them is Kevin Hysolli, a footballer who was in the plans of the Korçë team to be part of Skënderbeu.

However, it seems that with his family’s emigration to the USA, this opportunity was taken away. But his passion for football and his talent couldn’t keep him away from the field. Hysolli himself shared a photo on social media, showing him training in the USA.

In fact, in this training session, he is with his teammates, where he will continue his career as a professional.

Hysolli is a left-back and has shown great skills in this position.

Albania Debuts with Victory in the New UEFA Nations League Edition

Albania secured a win in their debut match of the new UEFA Nations League edition. The red-and-black team triumphed in Prague at the “Epet Arena” against Ukraine with a score of 2-1.

It was a match dominated by Albania, which created numerous scoring opportunities and secured victory thanks to goals from Ardian Ismajli and Jasir Asani.

Coach Silvinjo started the match against Ukraine with the following lineup: Thomas Strakosha (GK), Elseid Hysaj (C), Ardian Ismajli, Marash Kumbulla, Mario Mitaj, Ylber Ramadani, Kristjan Asllani, Qazim Laçi, Nedim Bajrami, Jasir Asani, and Rey Manaj.

The match began calmly with both teams evenly matched in the initial minutes. Albania created the first dangerous opportunity in the 9th minute. A spectacular action from Mario Mitaj on the wing led to a precise pass to Laçi in the box, but his shot went wide.

The following minutes were all about the red-and-black team, which created several scoring chances. In the 21st minute, Asllani crossed to the near post, but Laçi and Manaj were unable to put the ball in the net.

Again, in the 31st minute, Jasir Asani headed the ball back into the center, but there were no red-and-black players in the box to score.

Albania continued to create chances, and in the 39th minute, Kristjan Asllani came close to a beautiful goal, but his shot was deflected by the opposing goalkeeper. From the ensuing corner kick, Laçi almost scored with a spectacular heel kick.

The first half was dominated by the red-and-black team with many chances but no goals.

The second half began better for Ukraine, which found the net in the 49th minute with Konoplya.

However, Albania’s response was immediate. In the 54th minute, Ardian Ismajli equalized. After a corner kick, the ball came to the red-and-black defender, who scored.

Ismajli was a threat again in the 62nd minute after a cross from a corner by Jasir Asani, but the defender’s header was stopped by the opposing goalkeeper.

Albania turned the result around and took the lead in the 66th minute with Jasir Asani. A spectacular action by the red-and-black team, with Rey Manaj as the protagonist, who provided an accurate assist for Asani, who scored with his left foot.

Subsequently, coach Silvinjo made two substitutions, bringing on Medon Berisha and Arbër Hoxha.

In the 83rd minute, following a corner kick by Asani, Rey Manaj attempted a header, but the shot went just wide of the post.

The red-and-black team managed their lead until the end and secured a significant victory at the “Epet Arena.”

Albania will play their second UEFA Nations League match against Georgia on Tuesday, September 10, at “Air Albania” Stadium, at 20:45.

Even Though It Was a Friendly Match, Coach Ivan Gvozdenoviç Had Maximum Demands from His Players

Although it was a friendly match, Coach Ivan Gvozdenoviç had maximum demands for his players. It’s clear that he is preparing for the next game and there was no room for even the slightest tolerance.

The friendly match also served a technical and tactical purpose. However, what stood out was Gvozdenoviç’s demand for his players to play faster with the ball, avoid slow actions, and be more communicative with each other on the field.

In fact, the Korçë players are not inclined towards individual actions or unnecessary ball-holding excesses.

The two presidents, Ardjan Takaj of Korça and Spartak Meraku of Devolli, weren’t just sitting together out of courtesy. While each was focused on their own team, they also engaged in discussions about potential collaboration, reflecting the strong relationship they already share.

Takaj didn’t hesitate to offer his support and cooperation to the Devolli team, praising the squad despite them being opponents in the match. On the other hand, Meraku expressed interest in possibly loaning players from Korça.

It seems this relationship will continue to develop to the benefit of both teams, which is only natural given that Devolli has made significant investments for this season in the southeastern region.

The Korçars won the friendly match against Devollinjtë with a score of 4-1, but what stood out was the presence of President Ardjan Takaj in the Bilisht stands.

This shows how close he remains to the team, even during such matches, and he was also curious to observe some of the recently joined players.

He stayed throughout the entire match, accompanied by his close staff, and there were discussions and opinions throughout. Takaj seems to be staying close to his team not only to follow their training process but also to motivate them further for the upcoming matches.

Maliqi secured a resounding 6-1 victory in today’s friendly match against FC Helzag, played at the annex of the “Skënderbeu” stadium.

This decisive win for the second-tier team came against the reigning champions of the Sunday League.

The match, which kicked off at 19:00 in the southeastern stadium annex, was expected to be a win for Maliqi, though not by such a large margin.

The game was entertaining on the field but featured many mistakes from FC Helzag. Nonetheless, it proved valuable for both teams as they prepare for their respective leagues.

Maliqi is expected to have more friendlies in the coming days as they get ready for the start of the new season.
