The President of the Polish Football Association, Cezary Kulesza, paid an official visit to Albania, where he was welcomed by the President of the AFA, Armand Duka, the General Secretary of the AFA, Ilir Shulku, and the Administrative Director of the AFA, Aldi Topçiu.
During this visit, President Kulesza closely inspected the facilities of the “House of Football,” including the national team training center, training grounds, administrative areas, and the museum, where he learned about the history of Albanian football.
During the meeting, opportunities for collaboration between the two association were discussed, with a focus on exchanging experiences and developing joint projects for the future.
In a statement for fshf.org, President Kulesza praised the development of Albanian football and described the “House of Football” as a beautiful and well-organized center, emphasizing that Albanian football is heading in the right direction.
“Hello everyone. This is my first time at the Albanian Football Association. I see that Albanian football is developing, you have a beautiful sports center, a football field, another one that will be built in the future, a beautiful headquarters, everything is well organized.
We see large changing rooms, everything needed to play football. I also saw the field, which is dedicated to the men’s and women’s national teams of Albania. It is very well maintained, and we can only be ‘jealous’ in a positive sense because it’s something to be proud of. It is a beautiful center.
I don’t want to look back at the historic matches between Poland and Albania, we know that the Albanian National Team is strong. You qualified for the European Championship for the first time in 2016, you waited 5 days to learn if you would advance to the knockout stage, but due to the opponents and teams that had scored more goals, you were eliminated from the third place ranking. So, we see that Albanian football is heading in the right direction, and I hope it continues this way,”- said Cezary Kulesza.
