Albania's Daku banned by Uefa for two Euro 2024 games after nationalist chants
UEFA banned Albania’s Mirlind Daku for two games today having found that the footballer led fans in nationalist chants after the team’s 2-2 draw with Croatia in the men’s Euro 2024 tournament last week.
Daku took a megaphone on Wednesday in Hamburg to chant slogans against Serbia and North Macedonia.
