Albanian women’s national team ahead of do-or-die clash with Cyprus

The Albanian women’s national team held their final training session this afternoon ahead of the decisive match against Cyprus, which will determine their position in League B of the UEFA Nations League.

The training focused mainly on fun games and light exercises to avoid physical strain before tomorrow’s match. The Communication Department of the Albanian Football Association (FSHF) announced that the team is in very good physical condition.

A positive development for coach Armir Grima and the Albanian staff is the return of Ilarja Zarka, who missed the first match due to yellow cards, but is now ready to help the team.

Against Cyprus, only a win counts. The Albanian team must win by at least a two-goal margin to secure their place in League B. If the victory is by only one goal, the match will go into two 15-minute extra time periods.

The match will be played tomorrow at 18:00 at the “Air Albania” Stadium. The first encounter between the two teams ended with a 3–2 result in favor of Cyprus.
