"The World Cup is difficult, but not impossible", Duka is hopeful: In

After the last matches where the National Team drew with Serbia and Latvia, the World Cup mission for the national team has become extremely complicated, a fact that was also acknowledged by the President of the Albanian Football Federation, Armand Duka. In the interview given to "Sport News" on "News 24", in conversation with Trevisa Tufa, Duka nevertheless said that the red and black team still has hope.

You were in the US recently for the Club World Cup, but in 2026 we will go to America, do you still believe it?

I have never considered it an easy goal. It is not easy, but never impossible. In the conditions we are in, things have become difficult, but they are not closed. We have 4 matches that we must consider finals. With a positive result in Serbia, the possibility of a "Play Off" reopens. It remains a difficult goal, not only for now, but also for the future. We have a team with prospects.

The Duke was also asked about the approval of the "Final Four" scheme in Albania.

Last question, regarding the future. Why did you decide to continue with “FINAL4”? Why do you trust FIFA's figures, do you have no plans to change?

In its first steps, the "Final Four" has produced well, has generated interest, has generated emotion and revenue. If it should remain that way, and we are in this type of discussion with the members in the competition, with the football clubs and with the experts, if it should be the same, by dropping the points of the first 4 teams, or by maintaining the points collected during the championship, or halving it, we will decide this within a 10-day period together with the participating teams.
