Serbia – Albania, high -risk match match
The stadium on which the match is played has a capacity of only 8,100 places, and the Albanian fans did not move, because there is no sector dedicated to them.
Local organizers and UEFA wanted to avoid repeating the October 2014 scandal, when the two nationals met in Belgrade.
The match had to be postponed after a drone that waved an Albanian flag landed on the ground, triggering the madness on the Stadium of the Red Star Belgrade. Serbia lost that match at the “green table”.
The stake of the match is great. 2nd place in a group in which England is as qualified at the World Cup. This position will guarantee one of the teams the presence at the March 2026 dam.
