“Dardanët” apologize for being unable to meet all ticket requests

Supporters’ group “Dardanët” has apologized for not being able to respond to all requests for tickets to Kosovo’s big match against Turkey.

Kosovo host Turkey on Tuesday at “Fadil Vokrri”. Tickets sold out quickly, even before it was known that Kosovo would reach the play-off final for qualification for the World Cup.

“We deeply regret that we have been unable to respond to everyone interested in obtaining tickets for the big Kosovo–Turkey final. We sincerely apologize for being unable to meet all the countless requests—thousands of them—which exceeded every imaginable expectation. This apology comes from the heart, because we are sorry for each one of you who expressed a desire to be part of this major event for our country, but who, unfortunately, will not be able to attend. However, this is the capacity of the stands sector we cover; we are unable to expand it or do the impossible. We ask for your understanding and trust that, within our responsibilities, we have done and continue to do our utmost,” read a statement from “Dardanët” on Tuesday, match day.

“Dardanët” have called on fans not to consider their mission complete just by arriving at the stadium.

“Today, we must all feel responsible for the smooth running of the match, both in terms of organization and in giving wholehearted support to our national team. We must motivate and drive our footballers forward towards the ultimate success. Each of us must give more than in previous matches. Everyone must feel involved and contribute to the organization to the best of their ability. Everyone must climb the stadium steps with determination and boundless energy. Everyone must shoulder the shared responsibility of making our dream come true. Everyone must be active, not passive. And, above all, today everyone must wear Kosovo’s colors: with a scarf, a national team shirt or sweatshirt,” the “Dardanët” appeal continued.
