The national football team plays the big 'final' for the World Cup in Serbia. On October 11, Sylvinho's team faces a rival that is not only sporting, but a challenge that highlights the history and feelings of the fans towards the rival.
Apart from the historical aspect and the Kosovo-Serbia relations, the duel on the field takes on a different character as it decides a lot about the fate of the qualifying Group K. After five matches played, England with 15 points holds the lead, leaving Albania with eight points behind. Serbia with seven points is in third position, but has one match less. Then come Latvia (4 points) and Andorra with zero points.
In such conditions, it seems that our people in Leskovac really have a final match. With England having 'one foot' in the final phase of the 2026 World Cup, the duel for second place that sends you to the play-offs is between Albania and Serbia.
A victory for the national team in Serbia would mean a lot for advancing, as our team then has a match in Andorra and one in Tirana against England. But Serbia has one more match to play and could pass us in the standings, thanks to the results.
Therefore, in a television interview, the head of the Albanian Football Association, Armand Duka, stated that the result in Serbia 'discusses' the future of the coach.
"If we go to the World Cup, the coach stays, otherwise a failure to go there discusses the coach's future," Duka said, among other things.
