Scandal/ UEFA confirms them as a sponsor, but in Albania the bets drag them down

UEFA has announced that bet365, one of the world's leading online betting companies, will sponsor the Champions League for the 2024–2027 seasons, becoming the first sports betting brand to sponsor the world's most prestigious football competition. clubs. The new phase of the 36-team UEFA Champions League begins on September 17, following the draw for the league stage, which will take place in Monaco on August 29.

IN ALBANIA - Although online sports betting has become legal since April 1 of this year, the exercise of this activity without obtaining a license is not allowed, since the commission for granting licenses has not yet been established. This process has stalled in the appointments of certain ministries, such as the Ministry of Interior, Finance, Economy, Social Affairs and Justice. Five of the seven members of the commission must be persons not related to the public administration, while their selection has not yet been made, although it was expected that this commission would be established in July. On the other hand, the preparation of by-laws has been neglected and nothing new has happened in the past month.

The deadline is 6 months from April 1, when the "online" sports betting law passed in the Official Journal. In addition to the companies that have previously operated in our country, there are also some serious international companies that seek to expand in Albania, as their activity is active in several European countries. In total, 10 licenses will be granted with a term of 10 years. Meanwhile, the arrests of people who play bets continue in the field, because there are many who are aware that bets are already legal and go openly to place one and then take the consequences on their shoulders.
