Stadium change with Serbia, Duka: We accepted in Leskovac for a reason

The President of the Football Federation, Armand Duka, spoke on Blendi Fevziu's "Opinion" show about the upcoming match with Serbia.

The head of football stated that Albania agreed to move the match from Belgrade to Leskovac, as it sees it as an advantage.

Among other things, the Duke emphasized that one should only think about the match and nothing else.

"The match with Serbia? FIFA decides where it will take place. The Serbian Federation had decided that the match would take place in Belgrade, at the Crvena Zvezda stadium. But after the match with England, political factors took their toll and the Serbian Federation saw that they would not be able to cope with it and keep it under control. We have decided to play in Leskovac, a stadium with 8,000 seats. It is more controlled, I believe it will be better from an organizational point of view for them.

With fans or not? There are bad reports about the last match with England, but it doesn't mean they will automatically be punished for playing it without fans.

Leskovac or Belgrade, which is better? As long as we have accepted it.... There will be fewer fans in Leskovac. Albanian fans? We have not accepted Serbian fans in Albania and the same thing there. We will travel on October 10 between Niks and Leskovac. Then we will return to Jordan. As you said, it is an important match for the classification, we should not think about other things.

"The team? It's still early, the players don't have the experience to share things. Gibraltar was a friendly match, an experimental team and we had debuting players," Duka declared.
