About KS Lushnja

KS Lushnja is an Albanian football club based in Lushnjë, founded in 1930 (with roots going back to the late 1920s). The club plays its home matches at the Abdurrahman Roza Haxhiu Stadium and currently competes in the Albanian second tier, Kategoria e Parë. Known for its green and yellow colors, Lushnja has a long-standing local identity and a dedicated fan base, including organized ultras groups.

Throughout its history, the club has undergone several name changes, especially during the communist era, when it was known as Traktori and Puna Lushnja, before returning to its current name in 1991. Lushnja has frequently moved between the top and second divisions of Albanian football, reflecting a pattern of promotion and relegation over the decades. One notable moment in its history was the brief managerial spell of World Cup winner Mario Kempes in the late 1990s.

In terms of achievements, KS Lushnja has been most successful in the second division, winning the Kategoria e Parë title multiple times, with its latest triumph in the 2012–13 season. The club has also reached the Albanian Cup finals twice, finishing as runners-up. Despite its domestic presence, Lushnja has never competed in European competitions, remaining primarily a competitive but modest club within Albanian football.
