TIRANA, Oct 22 – FIFA fined the Albanian Football Federation (FSHF) with 15,000 Euros for lacking hot water supply in the showers during the World Cup qualifying match between Albania and Denmark played in the stadium “Qemal Stafa” last month.
Danish footballers left furious from the only Balkan country’s international stadium “Qemal Stafa” because they could not shower for lack of hot water.
The same happened with the Turks in which the referees’ changing rooms had no hot water.
Local media commented that the FSHF should be satisfied with the punishment since it is moderate.
