Finances are also at stake, how much would the national team earn if it goes to the World Cup?

If Albania manages to secure qualification for the 2026 World Cup play-off phase, it will be faced with a historic opportunity, not only sporting, but also financial.

Such a success would pave the way for significant economic benefits for the Albanian Football Federation.

If the Rossoneri then reach the final stage of the World Cup, the minimum reward from FIFA is estimated at around 9 million euros.

Each victory in the final stage would bring a bonus of 1.5 million euros, while a draw would be rewarded with 500 thousand euros.

This revenue would have a direct impact on the development of local football projects and the improvement of sports infrastructure.

Currently, Albania maintains a positive balance against Andorra, while also awaiting Serbia's result against England to formalize a place in the play-offs.

The play-off matches will be played in March 2026, with single matches that could bring strong opponents such as Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia or Italy.

Qualification remains the main objective, which could open a new chapter for Albanian football in terms of sport and finance.
