Albania

The Albania national football team, governed by the Albanian Football Federation (FSHF), competes under UEFA and FIFA and is known as the "Red and Blacks". They’ve won the 1946 Balkan Cup and the 2000 Malta International Tournament, and qualified for the UEFA European Championship twice (in 2016 and 2024), although only reaching the group stage both times. Their highest-ever FIFA ranking was 22nd in 2015, a testament to their notable rise in recent years
