On 14 October 2026, I shared the image of the banner carried by a drone during the Serbia–Albania match twelve years earlier. The anniversary brought that moment back into view.
The match took place in Belgrade on 14 October 2014 and was abandoned. On 10 July 2015, the Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled it a 3–0 forfeit in Albania’s favour. The same ruling retained Albania’s fine over the drone. The court’s official statement.
That context matters alongside the image. The sporting result came through a later decision, rather than a completed match on the field.
My post marked an anniversary. Here, the date and the court’s statement sit beside that memory, so readers can follow the documented outcome as well as the symbol that prompted the post.
