SKËNDERBEU/ January Schedule and Challenges
Skënderbeu, one of the teams in the Albanian Superliga, faces a packed schedule in January. The team will have little time to rest, as official matches resume quickly in the new year. Their first game of 2025 is scheduled for January 11, an away match against Partizani in the capital, Tirana.
The club has announced that training sessions will begin on January 3, with the first session taking place at the Tropikal resort sports complex in Durrës, where the team will gather for their pre-season preparations. Players, including both local and foreign footballers, have been notified to report back in time for the opening session under the direction of coach Ernest Gjoka.
Limited Preparation Time
Given the tight schedule, Skënderbeu will not have the luxury of a full preparatory phase. Just one week after training begins, the team will dive straight into competitive matches. According to the season’s calendar, Skënderbeu will play four official matches in January, with three at home and only one away.
Here is the translation of the fixtures for Skënderbeu in January 2025:
11.01.2025 Partizani vs. Skënderbeu at 17:00
15.01.2025 Skënderbeu vs. Vora (Albanian Cup) at 13:00
19.01.2025 Skënderbeu vs. Vllaznia at 16:30
25.01.2025 Skënderbeu vs. Teuta at 16:30
- After the away match against Partizani, Skënderbeu will spend the rest of January at their home stadium. The first home game is a Cup of Albania clash against Vora, a First Division team, on January 15. Following this, the team will host Vllaznia on January 19 and Teuta on January 25 for league fixtures.
Opportunities for Improvement
January presents Skënderbeu with an opportunity to improve their position in the league. Currently, the team is struggling in last place in the Abissnet Superiore, affecting morale. To overcome this crisis, results will be crucial, starting with their first match of 2025. With limited preparation time, the team must be ready to adapt quickly and aim for positive outcomes.
Let’s see how Skënderbeu responds to this challenging month ahead.
