Albania Euro 2024 squad finalised

Former Arsenal and Barcelona left-back Sylvinho, who now manages the Balkan nation, has named his squad for the upcoming European Championship.

Albania have been drawn in Group B alongside Croatia, Italy and Spain.

Sylvinho has named a 26-man squad for the tournament, which includes several players who have impressed for their clubs this season.

Among the most notable inclusions are goalkeeper Etrit Berisha, defender Berat Djimsiti and midfielder Ermir Lenjani.

"I am very pleased with the squad that we have selected," Sylvinho said.

"We have a good mix of experience and youth, and I am confident that we can do well in this tournament."

Albania qualified for Euro 2024 with a 1-1 draw away to Moldova in Group E.

They will be hoping to cause an upset in a group that also includes Croatia, Italy and Spain.

"We are in the Group of Death, but we are not afraid," Sylvinho said.

"We will go into every game with the belief that we can win."

Euro 2024 will be Albania's second major tournament appearance, having previously played at the 2016 European Championship.

They will be hoping to improve on their performance from that tournament, where they lost all three of their group games.
