Since the time of Skanderbeg, the European groups had become a nightmare for Albanian teams, a long-standing curse that ended after Egnatia made history by securing a place in the Conference League group stage, but the team from Rrogozhina is no longer so satisfied at a time when they managed to secure a ticket to the Europa League play-off stage.

Nivel Dede's team put in a fantastic performance against Shamrock Rovers, overturning a 3-1 defeat in Ireland. At home, they produced a real masterpiece, triumphing with a huge score of 5-1. Adejesa and Albanese each scored a "double" apiece, while Gruda also found the net.

In the Europa League play-off phase, Egnatia will face the Norwegians Lillestrøm. Thanks to this success, Egnatia fills the club's coffers after securing a minimum of 3,17 million euros.

This is without a doubt a great achievement for a club like Egnatia, which after totally dominating Albanian football in the last 3 years, has now managed to secure a ticket to the group stage of European competitions.
