In addition to Sylvinho, his assistants Zabaleta and Doriva have also been granted Albanian passports. All three have registered as residents in the city of Lushnja, specifically in the "Çlirimi" neighborhood.
As a reminder, the Albanian national team is in Group B, alongside Italy, Croatia, and Spain. Euro 2024 is set to kick off on June 14, with the grand final scheduled for July 14.
This move to grant citizenship to Sylvinho and his team is seen as a boost for the national squad, potentially fostering a stronger sense of unity and identity as they prepare for one of football's most prestigious tournaments.
