Discrimination in Greece! The Albanian football team is excluded from the tournament in Crete

The "Çamëria" team, which represents Albania in the international amateur football tournament, has been prevented from playing the scheduled matches in this tournament, which is taking place these days in Crete, Greece, on the grounds that the name of the Albanian representation is not appropriate.

"Chameria" is a participant in the Socca Champions League, which is taking place in Crete from October 17-20. This amateur football team regularly participates in non-professional competitions, under the direction of the Albanian Football Federation and Socca Albania, which represents Albania in Socca International.

In recent days, the Albanian team has played in this international tournament, playing two matches, one won and one lost. However, the team, led by coach Irtan Sejko, has been informed by the organizers and leaders of the Socca International Federation that the Greek government no longer allows the use of the name and logo "Chameria."

The news about the participation of the Albanian team in this tournament has attracted the attention of the local media in Crete, which have raised concerns about the name of the team. This reaction appears to have piqued the interest of the Greek authorities, who have initiated procedures to suspend the team's participation. This incident can be considered as part of a repeated wave of xenophobia on the part of Greek media and institutions towards Albanians.
