Midtjylland game at Egnatia moved due to civil unrest in Tirana

On October 15, Danish club FC Midtjylland announced that their UEFA Conference League match against Albanian team KF Egnatia had been relocated. The game, originally scheduled at Tirana's Arena Kombetare, will now take place at Elbasan Arena. UEFA made this decision following talks with Albanian authorities, a response to civil unrest in the capital.

The protests were centered around student issues, including concerns about university conditions, rising education costs, insufficient financial aid, and limited employment opportunities after graduation. These demonstrations followed months of peaceful protests ignited by a proposed luxury resort development on Albania's southern coast, backed by Jared Kushner, son-in-law of then-U.S. President Donald Trump.
