The Municipality of Tirana continues to reward elite athletes and clubs according to their merit, with bonuses or even with better infrastructure and conditions for training. Just a few days after taking over the pool complex to be returned to citizens and sports clubs, the Municipality of Tirana has decided to give awards to elite athletes and coaches.

"In today's meeting of the Municipal Council, we approve a fund of 51 million ALL that goes to the awards of our elite athletes. I believe time must pass when athletes waited 10 years to receive funding. If we sing and are proud of "Oh how good it is to be Albanian" and our athletes raise the flag, we must answer for the promises we have made. So today, we approve the award for two championships and two records won by athlete Luiza Gega and her coach. Some very talented sneakers are also rewarded. For weightlifting we have a super year after the results in the world championship in Uzbekistan and in the European Championship. It is definitely Evangjeli Veli that in 5 championships has been our success story. We have a prize for Briken who became world champion at the World Cup. Likewise,

Meanwhile, the Municipality of Tirana has provided support and awarding for the Men's Volleyball team of the Sports Club "Tirana" that returns the cup after 26 years in the capital. Mayor Veliaj gave the good news that the athletes of the Tirana Football Club, who were declared champions this year, will also be rewarded.
