About AF Elbasani

AF Elbasani is a professional football club based in Elbasan, Albania. Founded in 2021, the club was created by the Municipality of Elbasan after the financial collapse and legal troubles of the historic KF Elbasani. AF Elbasani began its journey in the fourth tier of Albanian football and quickly became one of the country's fastest-rising clubs.

The club achieved consecutive promotions in its first three seasons. After winning the Kategoria e Tretë in 2021–22 and the Kategoria e Dytë in 2022–23, AF Elbasani secured promotion to the Kategoria Superiore by winning the Kategoria e Parë title in the 2023–24 season. Their rapid rise was widely seen as a successful revival of top-level football in the city of Elbasan.

AF Elbasani plays its home matches at the Elbasan Arena and competes in the Albanian top division. Nicknamed “The Tigers,” the club has built a strong connection with local supporters and continues to establish itself among Albania’s leading football teams. Despite being a young club, AF Elbasani has already become an important part of the country's football landscape thanks to its remarkable progression through the league system.
