The “Emigrant” Cup

Football, the most popular and widely followed sport across all age groups, has a strong tradition in Lezhë and enjoys broad community participation. The city has several sports facilities, such as the “Besëlidhja” Stadium and Shënkoll Stadium, which are frequented by children, youth, and adults alike. This cup is organized within the framework of “Migrants’ Day” (August 15) as a gesture of appreciation for Lezhë’s emigrants and to strengthen ties among citizens at home and abroad. The event promotes a healthy and active lifestyle, while this year’s novelty will be a symbolic final match between children living abroad and local Lezhë children, turning sport into a bridge of connection, friendship, and cultural exchange.
