Duka: The match with Andorra, the most important of the edition for Albania

2025-11-12 18:32:00, Sport CNA

Armand Duka described the match against Andorra as the most important of the season for the national team.

In an interview with Klan News, the head of football in the country said that he expects victory and securing a "play off" in Andorra.

"Every match of the National Team is important. All are 3 points. Some have other emotions besides football. This is the most important of the season, because it keeps us in the game for the "play off". We also have an eye on London for England-Serbia.

"We lost the first match in the old stadium here in Andorra. We won the official matches here. They were difficult matches. It is not an easy match. Andorra today is better than before. They have a team that fights. England scored with great difficulty. It remains a very difficult match. The team knows the importance of the match. There is no room for complacency," he stressed.

Duka stated that the team will give its maximum to continue the dream towards the World Cup. According to him, Albania is the country that feels the most for the National team, while emphasizing that he hopes that the "play off" will be decided in Andorra.

"There are many reasons why we are not always at the same level. If we played all the matches at the same level, we would not be Albania, but England that secured first place. The motivation is not the same. For me, Latvia is not a weak team. They put us in a lot of trouble in Tirana too. We are not here for this analysis. We are to give our best and hope for the World Cup. For the satisfaction of the players, but also for the fans who follow this National Team.

We as fans have gained sports culture and we know that there are no easy matches. That's why we are on the steps of the stadium, to support the team and lead the team to victory. We are the country that feels the most for the National team.

"We want to secure the play-offs from here, so that we can have the luxury of the match with England," said Duka.
