He was declared champion, Veliaj reward of the Tirana team: The biggest given by

Tirana was declared champions for the 25th time in the 100th anniversary of the club and the Municipality has not gone unnoticed by the Municipality of Tirana. The latter has allocated, without wasting time, 150 million as a financial reward for footballers, technical staff and support staff, the largest given by any Municipality in Albania.

In the online meeting of the Municipal Council, Mayor Erion Veliaj said that this is another promise kept and stressed that this offer is valid for all teams that will bring the cup to Tirana.

"I am glad that we keep our word until the end and it is the first time that a Municipality gives a reward of this nature. I am very happy that the football cup will continue to stay in Tirana this year as well. I wish a lot of success to the Tirana team, as it continues the matches, projects and dreams for the future. I know that some of the players are advancing in their careers, I know that some others who have joined the Tirana team and therefore I believe that the reward of 150 million ALL, the largest given by any Municipality in Albania, to go for the success story, not only of the players, but also of the technical staff that enables the success of the team. This offer is valid for all teams that will bring the cup to Tirana and whoever wins the championship or other championships, can be Farka volleyball players or Dinamo basketball players,

The Mayor underlined that the Tirana award aims to promote sports culture.

"I am very happy that a large part of the city's gyms are open for sports activities and I want to encourage them that in many fields we have created there are over 60 where various sports associations have taken over to train the children of the city to fight obesity and to be more active especially in these times of pandemic. I want to strengthen and encourage the sports culture in the capital ", declared Veliaj.

Based on the decision, the award will be made according to a list previously submitted by the Tirana club to the municipality. The money will be given to everyone, based on their merit and position in the team. The list was compiled by the team leaders and submitted to the municipality.
