Winful Cobbinah Gets Albanian Passport, Set To Naturalize for the Country

Winful Cobbinah has been granted Albania citizenship and passport which could pave the way for the former Hearts of Oak playmaker to switch allegiance to play for the European country.

Albania President Ilir Meta granted full citizenship of the eastern European country and together with it came a passport.

Cobbinah guided Ghana to win the Wafu Cup of Nations trophy three years ago.

The 29-year old has been granted the full citizenship even though he has spent just two years in Albania, as five years of continous legal stay is required to apply for citizenship.

Cobbinah follows other African football players consisting Abraham Alechenu, Charles Ofoye and James Adeniyi who have all received Albanian passport.

Since joining from Hearts of Oak in 2018, Cobbinah has scor5 10 goals in a combined 58 matches so far and making several assists.
