The red family and Albanian football lose a legend!

It is with deep regret that we announce the news of the passing of Kristaq Eksarko at the age of 66. The energetic former defender of Partizan and the Albanian national team was part of the Reds for 7 years in the period 1980 - 1987, winning an Albanian championship title with Partizan. Eksarko will be remembered in the historical international confrontations with Partizan played against Austria Vienna and the Swedes of Malmo. Eksarko would debut with the national team in 1983 in the match against Northern Ireland in Belfast for the Euro 1984 qualifiers. Partizan Football Club and President Gazment Demi extend their most sincere condolences to the family, relatives and friends for this great loss. Rest in peace, our legend Kristaq Eksarko! - read the Partizan press release
