The England - Iceland match in the League of Nations could be played in Tirana at the "Air Albania" stadium.

How did you even come up with the idea to play this duel on a neutral ground in our neighborhood?

Namely, before visiting England, the Iceland team plays against Denmark in Copenhagen, and in Great Britain there is a rule that all those who come to the island from Denmark must undergo a 14-day quarantine.

That rule would prevent the Icelanders from playing, so two solutions are in circulation - either for England to lose by the official score, or to organize the match on a neutral ground.

According to the English media, the neutral field is, apparently, Albania, which got a magnificent stadium last year, and the country has milder measures to protect against the spread of the coronavirus.

The Football Association of England is negotiating with the Government to make an exception for the Iceland selection, but it would be a precedent, according to the media.

The Denmark-Iceland match will be played on November 15, and England-Iceland three days later.
