National U-16 Volleyball Championship for girls starts, Veliaj: The model given by the Federation, the key to success for athletes

“Where there is cooperation, where there is transparency, where the president and secretary of the Federation are elected by free, fair elections and voted by a list of delegates, whose names everyone knows, in the end they create a model federation like the Albanian Federation of Volleyball. If Albensi had voted without delegates and with fabricated lists; if Erli had been voted without delegates, with manipulations and falsifications, you would not be here today. A federation that steals its own elections, of course steals the result of the match, sells the game, and turns the talent that will go to the national into a kind of tender. When there is no trust, when there is no morality, when there is no transparency, then there is no fair play. “The way the federation works must guarantee that the game that will take place here will be clean,” said the mayor.

Veliaj explained once again the battle with FSHF. “When I am asked why you get involved in these debates, the answer I give is this: If the mayor sees an injustice and does not react, who will react? A physical education teacher loses his certification, a player loses his card, a team that reacts falls out of the category if the one who runs the Federation is not transparent, is immoral, sells players, sells matches, sells “fair play”. “If the whole society comes together, if the whole society supports the right, if the whole society stands up to have justice in every country where sports are played, then there will be ‘fair play’ in every field of Albania,” he stressed.

The Mayor closed his speech by highlighting the fact that the Albanian government has given the largest sports grant in 100 years, precisely to help the family budget.

“Today we enjoy these activities, but this gym was not here. The other gym in Farka, where the other matches are being played, was not here. The Olympic Park was not here. It means that where there is will and cooperation we can do good work, we can do beautiful work. Before Fidel came, in the Olympic Committee we had a situation when there was no communication at all. In the Olympic Games of Rio De Janeiro, half of the Olympic team refused to enter the race, that our Olympic team sold and bought matches, sold and bought players, blocked what could not afford to pay. Here we are today. Brikeni is a world champion in weightlifting, Luiza is second in Manchester, Izmir is in the top 10, “said Veliaj.
