After the "Mountain Package" and the coast, Edi Rama has moved on to the football fields: stadium projects in Tirana, Durrës, Korça and Vlora serve to justify the construction of towers, hotels and shopping centers in 153 thousand square meters of public space.
Under the guise of modernizing sports, the government has engineered the biggest urban robbery of the decade. The winner of the Durrës stadium project is the company “51N4E”, where Linda Rama’s daughter works, and “Plan Comun”, linked to the prime minister himself.
Meanwhile, public properties around the stadiums are being turned into construction sites for construction oligarchs, Rama’s relatives and opposition politicians who benefit through newly created firms.
In Albania, every “national project” is more of a construction project than a public development.
This time, Prime Minister Edi Rama has donned a football jersey for another property-grabbing operation, which he calls “the modernization of sports infrastructure.”
In fact, it is a 260 million euro construction plan, which includes four stadiums, in Tirana, Durrës, Korça and Vlora, which in each case is accompanied by towers, hotels, shopping malls and luxury complexes.
The Durrës stadium project, presented as a symbol of modern Albanian football, is the perfect scheme to concrete 153 thousand square meters of public spaces, through a circle of private constructions that extends around the "Niko Dovana" stadium.
The Rama family at the heart of the project
According to documents available to "Pamfleti", the winner of the design is the Dutch company "51N4E", where Linda Rama's daughter works, and the French company "Plan Comun", which has previously collaborated with Edi Rama on urban projects in Tirana.
These companies, selected by the commission personally led by the prime minister, are just a facade of a scheme that hides the real builders: oligarchs of the construction sector, money laundering traffickers and businesses linked to Olsi Rama.
Internal sources confirm that in addition to well-known companies, the project includes newly created firms by DP politicians, close to the “Troplini” and “Hajri” groups, which control a large part of the construction in Durrës.
This silent SP-DP cooperation is a guarantee for a smooth division of benefits, in a business that aims to convert state properties into private assets.
153 thousand square meters as a gift to builders
According to the detailed plan approved by the Albanian Investment Corporation, headed by Elira Kokona, former Deputy Secretary General of the Prime Minister's Office, the project includes five investment areas:
1. Stadium Area (27,037 m²) - reconstruction of the sports arena.
2. The first area outside the stadium (32,715 m²) - construction of multifunctional complexes with offices, hotel, library, shopping and entertainment centers.
3. Second area outside the stadium (28,598 m²) - residential buildings, production units and business offices.
4. Third area outside the stadium (18,597 m²) - residential and commercial buildings.
5. Fourth area - “Hotel Fari” (11,562 m²) - a luxury complex with restaurants, conference rooms and relaxation areas.
In total, 118,509 m² are designated for immediate private construction, while 34,491 m² of public space will be “donated” to developers to build commercial buildings and sidewalks.
Thus, the project that Rama presents as “the return of sports life” is in fact a massive urbanization plan that eliminates every green meter and every public property around the stadiums.
Money laundering and oligarchs together
Sources from the Tax Directorate and construction structures confirm that some of the companies that will take over the stadium projects were created just a few months ago, without real capital, with formal representatives and with an ownership structure covered through offshore companies.
They include well-known construction names linked to the benefits of the towers in Tirana, while the investments are being presented as private co-financing with "international funds" that do not exist in any foreign bank.
This mechanism is identical to the one used in the "National Arena" project, where the construction company took over the surrounding public properties, building towers and shopping centers that today generate millions of euros in profit, while the football federation and citizens received nothing.
Another power scheme: concrete over sports
On paper, Rama promotes football as “civic education,” but in reality he has transformed stadiums into construction assets.
This is the new phase of his project to convert every public property into a private business.
After beaches, forests, and mountains, now it is the turn of stadiums; the most expensive lands in Albanian cities, which are passing into the hands of a closed economic and political circle.
In conclusion, the stadium project is not about sport, but about concrete.
Under the slogan “for football”, Edi Rama has set in motion the same corruption scheme that destroyed Tirana’s urban planning: family companies, construction oligarchs, money-laundering traffickers and opposition politicians who silently collaborate.
If the coast was the "paradise" for government money laundering, now the football fields have become the new enrichment sites for the prime minister's family./ Pamphlet
