“In reality it’s a 100% football project,” Albania soccer federation president Armand Duka told The Associated Press in a recent interview.

“We did have a few negative reactions from fans, mainly, and some interest groups but not from the Albania government,” Duka told The AP.

Duka acknowledged co-hosting gives Albania a better chance to win and means offering only four stadiums instead of the full tournament slate of eight.

“Maybe 10 years ago it was unthinkable that we would even have a chance to bid,” Duka said through a translator.

“I don’t expect any negative reaction from the Kosovo government,” Duka said.
