(ANSA) – TIRANA, MAY 21 – “Only the tickets were managed by Uefa, the rest was managed by us. We declared the day of celebration, with the offices closed, to avoid traffic, and next Wednesday here it will be a car-free day to help the influx of fans. ” The mayor of Tirana Erion Veliaj says this to the Roman broadcaster ‘New Sound Level Fm 90’, explaining how the Albanian capital is being organized in view of the exceptional influx of people, many of them without tickets, for the final of Conference League between Roma and Feyenoord.
“We thought of three fan-zones, one in a central park in Tirana which will be the area for Roma fans – explains Veliaj -, one in the pedestrian area which will be for Feyenoord fans and a mixed fan-zone. Mixed zone is for families, for people who do not go to the stadium and who want to see the game on giant screens. Both Tirana and the neighboring cities are overbooked, we will have many Italian fans and friends. UEFA has helped us a lot in this organization , we are good at learning quickly “. (HANDLE).
