Protests at the Poland-Albania match? Foreign media are heating up the atmosphere
Karol Nawrocki, known for his passion for football, attracted the attention of the Albanian media. Will there be protests at the Poland-Albania match?
The Poland-Albania match attracts not only the attention of football fans, but also foreign media. However, journalists focused not on the sports competition and the chances of advancing to the final of the World Cup play-offs, but on political topics.
Poland – Albania. Albanian media about Karol Nawrocki
In the articles published in the Albanian media, attention was drawn to the fact that Karol Nawrocki would be watching the struggles of Jan Urban’s team. In the dispatches, the president was described as a “special fan”.
“All tickets were sold out a few days ago, and Poland can count on the support of an exceptional fan, Karol Nawrocki. Known for his passion for football, he was already present during the qualifying match for the 2026 World Cup, when the Poles defeated Finland 3-1. After that match, he even went down to the locker room to celebrate with the players,” writes 24-ore.com.
The website Panorama.com.al also reminds that the president has appeared at football stadiums many times in the past. “The importance of this match prompted the politician to return to the PGE National Stadium. This time, however, he may not be welcomed so warmly. In recent days, he has aroused mixed reactions from Polish football fans,” we read.
Are fans fed up with Karol Nawrocki?
During Ekstraklasa matches, banners attacking Karol Nawrocki appeared at stadiums in several Polish cities. “President – you forgot whose votes helped you win. Like Judas, you sold our ideals for the president” – this is the inscription on the banner prepared by Cracovia fans. Lech Poznań fans said that “Karol Nawrocki is not one of them.” “Indefinite arrests, illegal evidence. This is Europe, but there are Belarusian methods” – was the slogan of Kolejorz fans.
The reluctance of football fans is the result of the decision to veto changes to the Penal Code. According to Albanian journalists, “further protests can be expected” during Thursday’s match.
