TIRANA, May 28 – Kukësi and Butrinti will face each other today at 15:00 at the Rrogozhina stadium. The match will decide a place in Kategoria e Parë, which is the second division of the Albanian football championship below the Superior League.

Kukësi entered the Kategoria e Parë play-out round, where Bylis B defeated the team on penalties. Earlier, Bylis B had also eliminated Butrinti. The Saranda-based side reached the additional matches from Kategoria e Dytë, the third tier of Albanian football.
