The Albania national football team is known as a quarrelsome team. It happened that the strenuous relationships between Albania, Greece and Serbia caused calling off the games.
The team has never played in the World Cup and European championships. And the change of head coaches hasn’t influenced the situation. The team was guided by Gianni De Biasi, an Italian coach who headed Italian teams. Arie Haan was the head coach for some time.
The so called ‘golden generation’ performed for the team five or ten years ago. At that time Igli Tare, an Albanian former footballer, played for the team. Now he is the technical area coordinator of Lazio. Altin Lala, who is the most capped Albanian footballer, performed at that period and Erjon Bogdani was the team’s top scorer.
Albanian most notable export is Lorik Cana who performed for Marseille and Lazio. Among current calls-up are Armend Dallku and Ahmed Januzi, both playing for Vorskla.
The Albanian kit is red and black. The team is ranked 75th in the FIFA World Ranking.
