They have restarted the procedures for the name of the national stadium of Albania, currently called by the commercial name "Air Albania".
The stadium once called "Qemal Stafa" was reconstructed five years ago and as the contract stipulates, the name is decided through a public process with offers from companies that meet certain criteria.
It remains to be seen whether the name of the stadium will remain "Air Albania" or it will change again.
