Albania israel world cup qualifier moved for security reasons

You're referring to the recent news about the Albania vs Israel World Cup qualifier match being moved to a different location due to security concerns.

Yes, it's true. The match, which was originally scheduled to take place in Tirana, Albania, was relocated to the neutral venue of Elbasan Arena in Elbasan, Albania, due to concerns over fan violence and security risks.

The decision was made by FIFA, the governing body of international football, in consultation with the Albanian and Israeli football associations. The move was reportedly made to ensure the safety of players, officials, and spectators.

The match was originally scheduled for March 21, but it was postponed to March 26 due to the relocation. The Albanian Football Association had initially refused to play the match in Tirana due to concerns over fan violence and security risks, citing the recent tensions between the two countries.

The match is a crucial one in the European qualifying campaign for the 2022 World Cup, with both teams vying for a spot in the tournament.
