Our National Football Team defeated Kosovo in the final match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup play-off round and gained the right to participate in the World Cup finals after 24 years. Our national team’s Coach Vincenzo Montella spoke after the historic victory.
HERE ARE MONTELLA’S STATEMENTS
“I am experiencing the peak in terms of emotion! I think I have become the first coach to take both the European Championship and the World Cup. I am incredibly proud. I told the children before the match, they did everything they could. Even if we couldn’t go, all the responsibility would be on me. They achieved everything. Now we will continue on a good path together. Everyone who does this profession always desires the World Cup. We talked about it with the whole team. We have achieved our dreams, we are happy. It is an incredible feeling, it cannot be described with words. The World Cup is the pinnacle in this profession. It is great to share and experience it.” “All employees, management… Everyone contributed incredibly.”
