The portals "Kosovapost.net" and "Prestigji.com" published yesterday (November 9) an article titled "Switzerland published the names of 26 players invited to the World Cup, 2 of them Albanians."
After fact-checking by hibrid.info, it has been confirmed that the title of this article is misspelled, as the content states that three footballers of Albanian origin have been invited to the Swiss national football team, who will be part of the World Cup.
In addition to the two footballers Xherdan Shaqiri and Granit Xhaka, Switzerland has also invited another player of Albanian origin, Ardon Jashari. (here)

Analyze:
The portals "Kosovapost.net" and "Prestigji.com" have published an article regarding three footballers of Albanian origin, who have been invited by the Swiss national team for the World Cup.
However, in the headline, these portals have incorrectly claimed that two Albanians have been invited to be part of the Swiss national team. Based on the methodology of the work, hibrid.info evaluates this article as "Error".
Reasoning:
The "Error" rating is given to media reports in which the media editorial staff made a mistake by publishing incorrect information or broadcasting unverified news from another source, without the clear intention of misinforming the public.
