June 23 – The verbal warfare between the respective Balkan countries at Euro 2024 has taken yet another twist with Albania’s Mirlind Daku banned for two games after leading fans in nationalist chants.
In an unprecedented move in a major European tournament, Daku (pictured) grabbed a megaphone after Albania’s 2-2 draw with Croatia on Wednesday and joined in chanting slogans against Serbia and North Macedonia.
Despite apologising, UEFA have taken stern action which means he misses Monday’s confrontation with hotly favoured Spain in Dusseldorf.
