There are 2300 police officers, who will be engaged this Thursday in Tirana for the success of the Albania-Czech Republic match. This is the largest number ever mobilized by the police for a football match. 

The director of the Tirana police, Tonin Vocaj, has shown the strategy that the state police will use to ensure this important activity for the Albanian National Team. 

"It is the largest number of police forces ever engaged. 2300 police officers will be engaged", Vocaj added. 

Vocaj appeals to the fans for restraint. The director of the Tirana Police recalls that pyrotechnic devices and other strong objects will be banned in the stadium, while anyone caught with them during the inspection will be escorted to the police station. 

"We have a detailed plan for checking each individual to prevent unauthorized items. We will constantly check with the cameras in the stadium and every corner of the stadium will be followed. Any citizen who will be caught by the police will be accompanied to the police station and the criminal prosecution will continue", he emphasized. 

Director Vocaj also spoke about the investigations and measures for forgeries of tickets for today's match. 

"We have recorded cases. They are advertised on social networks. We have concrete investigations that we hope to finalize also for the forgery of tickets", he said. 

Vocaj emphasized that the State Police also had a meeting with their Czech counterparts. From the information received about the Czech fans, it is not expected that fans who are known as hooligans will come to Tirana.
