The Albanian Football Federation said UEFA had banned its player Mirlind Daku for two games at the European Championships after he led fans in nationalist chants.
After Albania’s 2-2 draw with Croatia Wednesday in Hamburg, Daku took a megaphone and joined in chanting slogans against Serbia and North Macedonia. The Football Association of Serbia said it would leave the tournament if UEFA did not punish the incidents.
The Albanian Football Federation also said on Sunday that the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) imposed fines totaling 47,250 euros ($50,500) for incidents at the game, where its fans joined Croatian fans in chanting an anti-Serb slogan.
