Albanian fans booed during the playing of the Israeli anthem, ahead of the start of the match against their country in the European Nations League on Friday.
A video clip was documented of the Albanian fans deliberately raising the sound with whistles during the playing of the Israeli anthem, along with signals coming out of the cameras.
On the other hand, the fans present in the new Tirana stadium were keen to sing the Albanian national anthem with full force and enthusiasm during its playing a few minutes before the start of the match.
