Vtmbh article body
The soccer team New York Albanians won the championship of the Cosmopolitan Soccer League with a forfeit victory, after their Spanish opponent, CD Iberia, decided not to challenge them. CD Iberia holds second place in the league.
The opponent team didnt play the last game, so we were declared champions. But I am sure that we would have won the game if we had played it, because we defeated them before on their home turf, said New York Albanians Team President Martin Shkreli.
The championship win also reflected the teams great results: 43 victories, 0 defeats, and 43 points.
Shkreli said that the last game of the tournament will take place on May 12, against New York Athletic Club, which won the last years championship and holds third place in the tournament.
The next game is not that important since we have the championship in our pocket, but we would like to win again and have perfect results of 14 victories, 0 defeats and total of 46 points, Shkreli said.
The teams goal is to win the championship cup, Shkreli said. The final opponent of the New York Albanians is the Central Park Rangers, which is in first place in the second league. New York Albanians team was founded in 1984 and consists of Albanians from all Albanian territories.
