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.
