Veliaj visits for the 100th anniversary the wife of the football icon Selman

Nezihat Stërmasi, the wife of the white and blue football legend, Tirana, took on her 100th birthday, hosted at her home the mayor Erion Veliaj, who wished her a long life and expressed her highest appreciation, as one of the iconic figures of closely related to capital football, but also to the capital itself.

"This year is so very important for us: You turned 100 years old, and Tirana turned 100 years old", he said, after giving Nezihat's mother the Clock Tower, as a sign of respect.

Referring to one of the expected decisions of the Municipal Council for the award of the Tirana team, which was declared the champion of Albania, Veliaj said that the winners should be rewarded for their results.

"A person is rewarded when he works and when he has results. This year the team honored us. But, we must continue like this, the conditions are right and it is not like in Selman's time, when there were no conditions, the sport was heroism "On Monday we will reward them for the victory, we will hold everyone accountable, according to their contribution", he said, adding that sport should not be confused with politics, just as neither the earthquake nor the pandemic should be politicized.

According to him, politicization is not good for solving problems:

"We had a case in Kinostudio for earthquake compensation. My opponents say he did not get the money! In fact, the money was withdrawn by the husband and he did not show it to the wife. The duty of the state is to compensate and help you, but Tirana has 265 thousand families and we can not send staff to every family to reconcile them. You give the money to the head of the family, while the party goes and catches his wife and they make TV issues a family story. "So I tell people, do not politicize sports, do not politicize worries, because everything has a solution, not everything is politics."
