Tovërlani ‘slams’ Vokrri: He has no right to play for Albania; he wanted a starting spot with us, and with Afrim Tovërlani only death is certain

The exodus from Kosovo’s U21 national team continues.

A few months after Etnik Brruti, captain of the “Dardanët” U21 team, switched to Albania U21, another footballer from the Kosovo Super League has done the same.

Diar Vokrri, who currently plays for Ballkani, has changed national teams, moving to Albania’s U21 team, under the direction of Alban Bushi.

The coach of Albania’s U21 national team published the squad list during the day today, and Diar Vokrri was included.

Kosovo U21 national team coach Afrim Tovërlani has also spoken about Vokrri’s move to Albania.

Tovërlani told “Gazeta Express” the reason for the 21-year-old’s ‘departure’.

“The footballer in question asked for a guaranteed place in the lineup, but with Afrim Tovërlani only death is certain. I gave him the opportunity against Romania; he played 90 minutes. Against Spain, Erion Sadriu played and put in a very good performance. There are no guaranteed places with me for anyone, not just him,” Afrim Tovërlani said about the reason for Vokrri’s ‘departure’.

“He is not eligible to play for Albania in these EURO 2027 qualifiers. He can only play friendlies until then,” concluded the Kosovo U21 national team coach.

Diar Vokrri made five appearances for Kosovo’s U21 national team.
