In cooperation with the National Chess Federation, the Municipality of Tirana will plan a program for developing the sport of chess in all of Tirana’s schools, as a good opportunity for young students.

“It is so nice that students engage in physical sports, such as basketball, football and volleyball. But mind sports are also very important. We are looking forward to plan a program that will be offered as a great opportunity for young members”, Veliaj said.

He added that Tirana has the opportunity to welcome not only international events, but can also increase the involvement of young people in sports.

“I am very happy that Tirana has turned into the house of the international francophone chess tournament. I want to thank our friend, Euard Shalsi, who turned Tirana into the capital of chess. I am very enthusiastic about our potential, not only to create international activities, but also to have our children engaged with chess”, Veliaj said.
