The honouring of the Albanian sports ambassadors is held as part of the annual celebrations. The aim is to improve the country’s image through sport. The press conference announced the nominees on 04.09.2018 at 10.00 am in the Hotel Diplomat.
Albanian Sports Ambassador (ASA) honours Albanian athletes and coaches for the first time for their outstanding achievements abroad. The nominees of the respective categories were announced at the press conference on 04.09.2018. Albanian athletes have proven their skills all over the world. The awards are linked to prize money for social projects, with a focus on development work with children and young people. The aim of the ASA is to inspire people to take action through sport and to change the world positively.
Connectedness through sport means that different levels of society are involved and come closer together.
During the press conference the nominees for all categories were announced in a live broadcast on Supersport1. The founders of the Albanian Sports Ambassador Roland Bischof and Luar Arani explained the idea and the future direction of the ASA. The initiator of the German Football Ambassador has assured his support for this project through his organisational network and knows how important the cooperation between Germany and Albania is. The first award ceremony will take place in Tirana on September 28, 2018. Renowned personalities from the worlds of sport, politics and culture were delighted to support this initiative.
