On the green fields of the United States, every day a new generation of young footballers with big hearts is growing. They were born and raised across the ocean, in a different reality, but within them beats a special feeling: a love for Albania and the dream of one day wearing the red and black jersey.
Inspired by their parents, grandparents, the Albanian flag at home, and the emotions of the National Team’s matches, these children keep the national identity alive through sport.
Although they are part of American academies, many of them openly express their desire to be part of the Albanian national team — a dream that, for them, represents more than just a call-up; it represents pride, roots, and a deep spiritual connection with their country of origin.
This new wave of talents from the diaspora is a treasure for the future of Albanian football. It shows that the sense of belonging does not fade with distance and that the red and black flag is alive wherever an Albanian heart beats. The Albanian Football Federation is becoming increasingly attentive to these talents, and the future may hold beautiful surprises.
