Road To Euro 2016
One of the fairytale stories of qualification was that the small nation of Albania made it into the finals at France in 2016. Albania finished 2nd in group I in France Euro 2016 qualificationto ensure automatic qualification.
Portugal bossed group I, winning with 21 points, but it was Albania's second spot finish above Denmark that really grabbed the headlines. Albania twice drew with Denmark in group I and famously beat Portugal 0-1 in Aveiro in the first game of the group on 7 September 2014.
How will Albania get on at France Euro 2016in the summer? The answer to that question is anyone's guess given their awesome performances in qualification.

Albania v Romania
These two largely inexperienced teams face off for the first time in a European Championships. Without any past results to go off its hard to put your finger on a winner here. The match could go either way.
Albania will be wanting to spring a surprise in Group A and taking 3 points off Romania will likely be essential in order to qualify from the group! Bookings for Romania v Albania tickets can be made here;

Key Players
Key Man
We are going to select Shkelzen Gashi here! It was a close call between a few players but Gashi is most likely to be the star of the show. Unbeknownst to many Gashi played for Switzerland at youth level before switching allegiances in his post teen years. The Albanian fans were overjoyed that he did having not got the call up to the senior Swiss team. Gashi received Albanian citizenship and has now represented Albania at international level on many occasions. He's aided Albania massively to get to these finals. Fans with Albania Euro 2016 ticketswill be praying he can stamp his quality in games this summer.
The Goals
Everyone in Albania will have been jumping for joy when their nations dream of qualifying for Euro 2016 became a reality! This is the first time Albania have qualified for the Euros and they will be hoping to perform well as they may be waiting a while for another opportunity.
It's difficult to pick who will be the goal getter as Albania do not have an especially potent frontline. There were a number of players who scored one goal in the qualifying stage; Bekim Balaj, Arman Sadiku and Shkelzen Gashi. The team as a whole need to chip in on the goal front to give Albania any hope at all.
One to watch out for
Taulant Xhaka is Albania's best defender and with him in their side Albania have a hope of progressing through the groups. This Albania side should not be underestimated, they comfortably finished second in their group. Most memorably Xhaka marshalled his defence brilliantly to earn a one goal victory and a clean sheet against Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal! They have nothing to lose when facing the best sides in Europe so watch out for Albania!!
Young starlet
Albania's young star comes in the form of Bekim Balaj. A talented young striker trying to establish himself as one of Europe's best. There is no better stage than the Euros for Balaj to show what he can do. Expect good hold up play and an aerial presence in the box.
