The Albanian eagle symbol, used frequently by Albanian citizens and celebrities especially to celebrate in sport events, may turn into a problem in another arena.
Two of Switzerland’s players of Albanian origin who scored one goal each against Serbia, giving Switzerland the much needed victory, celebrated this way and spurred debates around the world.
Another sportswoman from Kosovo, Kosovare Asllani, who plays with Sweden’s national team, scored the third goal in their match against Ukraine and celebrated the same way.
Her gesture was commented a lot in Swedish media. However, she explains in a declaration that it was a sign of respect for Kosovo, where she comes from, and it has nothing to do with politics.
