The Albanian women's team secured qualification for the play-off phase of the "Brazil 2027" World Cup, after a 5-2 victory over Montenegro. The red and black girls' coach, Armir Grima, spoke about this great achievement in an interview with Trevisa Tufa, on Sport News on News 24.
Do you have any preferences for the draw that will be held on June 18?
We played with those teams. Since Ukraine is at war, we would like Ukraine.
Do you really believe that we can go to the World Cup, what are the real chances?
To be honest, for me it would be the greatest sporting pleasure. Today it is easy to talk about women's football, but when we started, it was difficult. Today the girls have coped with everything. They are proud!
The strongest point?
The group, I can say that for sure. This is the strongest point. These things are not achieved in a day, it took a lot of work to get here.
How will this adventure go, you will also play in the next competition in UEFA League B, what is your objective Grima, where do you want to reach?
It is very difficult to stay in the League. Our goal is to stay in League B.
Do you have a message for the fans?
I have a message, I invite them to support us. These girls make you proud even when they lose, because they suffer defeat with dignity. The more we are in numbers, the better.
