HistoryFK Partizani Tirana is an Albanian professional Football 

Club based in the capital city Tiranë. The club’s home

ground is the Qemal Stafa Stadium and they currently

compete in the Albanian Superliga, which is the

highest tier of Albanian football.

The club was founded in 1946, and they first

competed in an official competition a year later where

they won the 1947 Albanian National Championship,

thus being crowned the champions of Albania in their

debut season as well as the following two seasons. In

total the club have been  national champions  on 15

occasions between 1947 and 1993, which is the last

time the club won the Albanian Superliga. They have

won 18 other officially recognised domestic honours,

including 15  Albanian Cups  as well as  Second

Division,  First Division  and  Supercup  titles. They

are also the only Albanian club side to have won an

international football competition through their

1970Balkans Cup  campaign in which they beat

Bulgarian side Beroe Stara Zagora in the final.

FoundationThe club was official founded on 4 February 1946

by the Albanian National Liberation Army soon after

the end of World War II and the liberation of Albania.

However, one year earlier in 1945, there had been two

military division teams competing in the first National

Championship following the end of World War II. The

teams were called Ylli Shkodër and Liria Korçë, and

they were both dissolved as clubs at the end of the

season, with their best players moving to  Tiranë  to

join Ushtria, which literally translates to The Army.

Ushtria played their first friendly game on 13 January

1946 against the reigning champions of Albania Vllaznia

Shkodër, in a game that ended in a goalless draw in

Tiranë that was played during heavy rainfall. The team

played their first ever match in distinctive red shirts

with each player’s initials on their chests. The following

month, on 4 February, Ushtria was developed into

an organised sports club which was to be named in

honour of the  Albanian Partisans  who had fought for

the liberation of the country. In the early history of

History and Achievements

the club they recruited players from the Scanderbeg

Military High School and Albanian Military Academy,

as well as players from other clubs who were ordered

by the ruling Communists to play for Partizani.

On 7 April the club played their first official match

under the name Partizani, which was against another

team from the same city 17 Nëntori Tirana. Partizani

won the match 2-0 .As the club did not participate

in the 1946 National Championship, they instead

toured Albania playing friendly games against some of

the biggest clubs at the time, and ended their 9 match

tour with 26 goals scored and 9 against.

Early historyThe club first competed in a national competition

in 1947, where they were enrolled into the top flight

of Albanian football in their debut season. They played

16 games in their first season, winning 14, drawing

1 and losing 1, which led to them being crowned

champions of Albania for the first time. Partizani

finished with a goal difference of 41, after scoring 56

goals and conceding just 16, to finish with 29 points,

just on ahead of Vllaznia Shkodër.

The following season the  Albanian Football

Association  decided to change the format of the

championship and divided teams into two groups

based on geographical location, with Group A being a

northern conference and Group B being a southern

conference. Partizani were placed in Group A where

they finished top of the group level on points with

Vllaznia Shkodër, and due to possessing a better

goal difference Partizani were the group winners

and reached the championship final on 25 August

1947 against  Flamurtari Vlorë. The final was played

in  Tiranë  and Partizani won with an emphatic 6-2

scoreline, Partizani their second consecutive title.

In over 69 years  Partizani  have earned fame

in  Albania  by becoming a legendary club. They have

won 15  League  titles, 15  Cups  and 1  Supercups.

Another great achievement is the two silver medals

won in  Leipzig  and  Hanoi against well known teams

from Eastern Europe.

Partizani are also the only Albanian team to have won

a trophy abroad.

In 1970 they won the prestigious  Balkans Cup  by

5overcoming  PFC Beroe Stara Zagora  in the final

matches; the first leg was a 1-1 draw in  Tirana  and

a 3-0 win was awarded for the second leg, as Beroe

withdrew from the second leg. They are still the only

Albanian club to have ever lifted an international

trophy.

Partizani and their talented players have long been

the base for the national team as well. Hundreds of

Partizani players have worn on the national team

jersey. Many players from  Partizani have received

medals in  Albania  and have also played abroad

in Italy, Germany, Romania, Greece, Turkey, 

Switzerland etc.

The club are also considered by many to have one

of the largest fan bases in  Albania. This is not only

in Tirana, but throughout the whole country.

Partizani  have gone through hard times after the

fall of  communism  in  Albania  in 1990 and they

only managed to win the  League  once in 1993 and

the  Cup  on 4 occasions, 1991, 1993, 1997 and

2004. The club was taken over by  Albert Xhani  in

2001 and a few years later were relegated for the

first time in their history to the second division in

1998.  Partizani  earned promotion immediately by

also winning the second level division trophy.

The following season was one of the worst. The

bad financial situation brought poor results,

so Partizani were again relegated for the second time.

While 2013/14 season coincides with the return of

the legendary team of Albanian football elite where

Partizan direction is taken by known businessman

Gazment Demi who is legally Club president with

100 % ownership of the shares. The first season of

return can be called successful partly because the

team is almost all season in the first three posicion

, but in two weeks last fall in fifth place by failing to

participate in the European Cups . For next season ,

2014/15, the team makes more organic amendments

. In these two seasons on team was more players from

Kosovo and Serbia, Argentina, Nigeria . Partizani on

season 2015/16 is done and teams with more players

called the National team and U 21 , three such player .
