Union Financiar Tiranë (UFT), the sole agent of Western Union Financial Services Inc. for Albania, is pleased to announce its return as the direct sponsor of the Albanian National Team.

Union Financiar Tiranë has reached a three-year agreement with the Albanian Football Federation to sponsor the National Team.

With the slogan “Always Close to You,” we will continue to serve our customers as always and be part of the great challenge of the Albanian National Team on its journey to “Euro 2024” and beyond. We are happy to support the boys who have made us proud by making history with their qualification for “Euro 2024.” We will always be by your side, sharing the emotions of every goal or missed chance, just as we are ready to offer the best service to our customers at any time. Let’s cheer for the National Team together at home, in bars, or shouting in the stadium.

We are continuing the success story that began 24 years ago when Union Financiar Tiranë, which had only been established for five years, managed to bring a new spirit to the world of football and marketing by becoming the first and only official sponsor of the Albanian National Football Team.

Elton Çollaku, the administrator of Union Financiar Tiranë, expressed his enthusiasm for the continuation of this cooperation at this historic moment as all Albanians await to follow our Red and Black team in Euro ’24. “Our continuous support of the representative team brings us closer to the thousands of sports-loving Albanian families living in Albania or around the world.”

The Albanian Football Federation expresses its appreciation for the continuation of the tradition with the National Team’s first sponsor, Union Financiar Tiranë. “Union Financiar Tiranë has always been present for Albanian football, not only in the national team’s successes but also in difficult times, contributing to the development of this sport in Albania.”

Union Financiar Tiranë, an Electronic Money Institution, has been the sole agent of Western Union Financial Services Inc. for Albania since 1995 and operates in Albania, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Croatia, and Switzerland. During its 29 years of activity in Albania, UFT has established the widest network of service points across the country with over 700 Unionnet – Western Union locations and over 100 financial products and services.

UFT also offers the online payment platform “UPay,” which has brought solutions and convenience for both individuals and businesses.
