About KF Tirana

KF Tirana is a professional Albanian football club based in the capital, Tirana, competing in the top division, Kategoria Superiore. Founded on 15 August 1920, it is part of the multi-sport club SK Tirana. The team has won the most national trophies in Albania (54 major titles) and is the only Albanian club with two stars on its emblem, representing 20 league championships. Home matches are played at the Arena Kombëtare in Tirana.

Throughout its history, the club has undergone several name changes—from Sport Klub Tirana to Shoqata e Futbollit Agimi and others during the communist era—before returning to its historical name after 1991. KF Tirana experienced its first-ever relegation in the 2016–17 season, marking a historic moment as the club dropped to the second division for the first time.

In European competitions, KF Tirana is the most successful Albanian club. It has participated in UEFA tournaments more often than any other Albanian team and reached the round of 16 four times, including three appearances in the European Champion Clubs’ Cup during the 1980s. The club remains a key representative of Albanian football on the continental stage.
