History

[edit]

In an effort to promote women’s football in Albania, Genc Ymeraj founded a team in Korçë, later placing it under the supervision of record-breaking athlete Denisa Thëngjilli. Returning to Tirana, Ymeraj took on the ambitious challenge of establishing a professional women’s team under the banner of SK Tirana, a club with a storied history dating back to its founding in 1920.

Coached by former Albania international Skënder Hodja, the roster featured talented players such as Aurora Seranaj, Ana Baro, Luljeta Plaka, Mirela Cemeri, Margarita Gjinaj, Sara Plepi, Iris Begiraga and Anxhi Sallaku. Despite the potential within the squad, the team struggled due to lack of support from the parent club, SK Tirana.

The club’s brief existence culminated in just one official match in 2009, a 1–3 loss to Rubiku.[1]

KFF Tirana would reemerge again during the 2020–21 season.
