Klubi i Futbollit Tirana is an Albanian football club based in the country 's capital city , Tirana . The men 's football club is part of the multi-disciplinary sports club SK Tirana , and is the most successful in Albania , having won 51 recognized major domestic trophies . They play their home games at the Selman Stërmasi Stadium in Tirana and they play in the Albanian Superliga . The club was founded on 15 August 1920 as Shoqata Sportive Agimi ( in English : Agimi Sports Association ) and they had since participated in all the top tier national championships ever held in Albania . However the ninth-place finish in the 2016-17 season relegated the club to the Albanian First Division ( second-tier ) for the first time in their history . They have competed under the name of SK Tirana between 1927 and 1947 , when the communist regime forcibly renamed the club 17 Nëntori Tirana , Puna Tirana and KS 17 Nëntori . In 1991 KF Tirana retook its pre-1947 name and was divided into two branches , the multi disciplinary SK Tirana and the football branch of KF Tirana . KF Tirana is the most successful Albanian team in European competitions , having progressed from the first rounds on 11 occasions since making their European debut in the 1965-66 European Cup . They reached Round of 16 in European Competitions four times , three such in the European Cup ( now Champions League ) alone in 1980s . The club also holds the record of being the highest ever ranking Albanian club according to IFFHS , having been ranked 31st in the world in 1987 , following good results in their 1986-87 campaign . In addition , KF Tirana is an ECA member .
1938-39 Albanian Cup , named King 's Cup in honour of King Zog I of Albania , was the first season of Albania 's annual cup competition . This competition consisted in a double round-robin system with a broad participation of three divisions and six groups . 3 teams took part in the main group ( Group A ) and played for Cup winner : KF Tirana , KS Vllaznia and KS Besa . It started on December 11 , 1938 , and ended on January 22 , 1939 . KF Tirana won the cup . KS Besa surprised 5 times Albanian Champions , KF Tirana by winning the opening match in Kavajë 2-1 , making a brilliant start . Tirana compensated somehow by breaking Vllaznia 5-3 in the next match . Besa just could n't do the same to Vllaznia at their home stadium , by losing this time 1-2 , this equalized all teams in points . Vllaznia then broke Besa once again in Shkodër whilst Tirana retaliated their only loss by beating Besa in Tiranë 4-2 and therefore eliminating them directly . Tirana needed just one point in the final match in Shkodër against Vllaznia to secure their first major trophy , but hosts were left stunned when Tirana won 2-1 in Loro Borici Stadium and lifting therefore the first Albanian Cup despite being 0-1 down in scoreline .
