The match between Albania national under-21 football team and Montenegro national under-21 football team, valid for the Euro U21 qualifiers, was halted in the 27th minute due to heavy rain in Podgorica.

The referee called both teams to the locker rooms, and after 30 minutes returned to the field to assess the pitch conditions. However, it was impossible to resume the match, and together with the UEFA delegate, the referee decided on the final suspension.

The Communications Department of Federata Shqiptare e Futbollit announced that UEFA has rescheduled the match for June 7, 2024, to restart from the 27th minute. According to FIFA and UEFA’s official international match calendar, the game could not be postponed to the next day, and players’ club commitments made an earlier date impossible.

Prior to that, Albania U21 will play two qualifying matches in March 2024 against Finland and Switzerland. The qualifying phase will conclude in June 2024, during which Albania U21 is scheduled to face Switzerland, Armenia, and the postponed match against Montenegro.
