The Albanian Football Association's Disciplinary and Ethics Committee has published its latest decisions, sparing no fines and suspensions for clubs in the Superiore and First and Second Categories.

Spectator misconduct was the main cause of the penalties, with Egnatia and Laçi each being fined 100,000 lekë, respectively for insulting chants and throwing objects on the field.

Teuta and Kukësi have also taken financial measures for using pyrotechnics and endangering the safety of officials.

In addition to the clubs, the iron hand of Discipline has also fallen on the players. Enti Gjishti i Naftëtarit has been suspended for 4 matches for unsportsmanlike behavior towards officials, while Mounde Ekango (Butrinti) and Aleks Kazheli (Apolonia U-19) have been suspended for 3 matches each for violence on the field.

Also, several losses on the table (3-0) have been recorded for the chain teams of Lushnja, Albanet and the Football Academy, due to the abandonment of matches or the activation of players without the right to play.
