Mirlind Daku

Albania player Mirlind Daku was banned on Sunday for two games after leading fans in nationalist chants at the European Championship, that UEFA said brought soccer into disrepute.

Daku took a megaphone after Albania's 2-2 draw with Croatia on Wednesday in Hamburg and joined in chanting slogans against Serbia and North Macedonia.

Albanian forward Mirlind Daku, who led fans in derogatory post-match chants about North Macedonia with a megaphone, has apologized citing the intense emotions of playing at Euro 2024.
