Prime Minister Edi Rama took to the social media to share images of the festival of football at Tirana’s main international airport, where Albania’s supporters danced and sang to the rhythms of traditional music.

A large number of foreign tourists visiting Albania joined the fans’ festive mood at the airport.

“Super festive atmosphere staged by Albanian national team fans and foreign tourists at Mother Teresa airport,” PM Rama wrote.

The 17th European Football Championship will begin on Friday night. For Albania it is the second time to take part in a major European tournament. Around 50,000 Albanian fans  are expected to attend Saturday’s game as the national  side will take on the defending champions Italy in Group B of UEFA Euro 2024 due to be played in Dortmund.
