Flamurtari Football Club is an Albanian professionalfootball club based inVlorë, Albania. The club plays in theKategoria Superiore, which is the first tier of football in the country.
Founded in 1923, the club is one of the oldest in Albania, also being one of its most successful clubs, having won oneAlbanian Superliga title in 1991, fourAlbanian Cups, and twoAlbanian Supercups. Flamurtari is also known for their European runs in the 1980s, where they famously reached the last sixteen in the1987–88 UEFA Cup, where they beat Spanish giantsBarcelona inVlorë but lost on aggregate.
KS Flamurtari Vlorë were founded on 23 March 1923, asShoqeria Sportive Vlorë with Milto Korçari as the club's first ever President, while Malo Ismaili held the role of the secretary and Faslli Zoga that of the financier. The club was created to make sports more organised and popular, with a focus on football. Its financial needs were covered by donations from the members or from different activities organised in the city ofVlorë. Shoqeria Sportive played their first football match against Shoqëria Sportive Jeronim de Rada, a local team created from students from Vlorë. The match ended in a 2–2 draw. The goals for Shoqeria Sportive were scored by Adem Gavani and Hazbi Tepelena. During the 1920s the club played several friendlies with other Albanian and foreign teams. Interesting were the matches against Crnogorac Cetinje and the football team of the Livorno Naval Institute which the Red and Black Fleet both won 1–0 and 3–2 respectively. Shoqeria Sportive Vlorë were a founder member of theAlbanian Football Association and participated in the first championship. Its first official match was againstSkënderbeu Korçë in Vlorë and ended with a 2–0 win. The team's first captain in an official match was Jani Kosta. In the first championship Shoqeria Sportive finished bottom of the table with two wins (vs. Skënderbeu Korçë at home, 2–0, and vs.Urani Elbasan away, 2–1), two draws (vs. Skënderbeu Korçë away, 0–0, and vs.Bashkimi Shkodran at home, 1–1) and six losses.
In the1931 championship Shoqeria Sportive played inGroup A againstTirana andBashkimi Shkodran collecting a win at home against Bashkimi Shkodran and three losses, with a negative goal difference of 4–9. Finishing last of the table meant that the team was relegated to theKategoria e Dyte. Shoqeria Sportive was drawn to play for the next season inGroup C of theKategoria e Dyte againstLeka i Madh Permet, Narta andShqiponja Gjirokastër. The championship ended with success as the team was crowned champions of Group C and thus qualified for the play-off final against the Group B champion,Sportklub Kavajë. The one-legged tie ended 3–1 in favour of Sportklub Kavajë, which meant that Shoqeria Sportive remained for another year in the Second Division. In the next championshipNimet Abazi Delvinë andVetëtima Himarë entered the competition, while Sportklub Narta withdrew. The season proved once again the superiority of the Red and Black team against their Second Division opponents, by finishing once again top of the Group C and securing promotion. In the two-legged final againstSportklub Elbasan, which determined the winner of the Second Division, Shoqeria Sportive lost 4–3 on aggregate, thus ending the season as runners-up.
The1934 started with big problems for the team and ended in the worst ways possible, with theKuqezinjte drawing one and losing the rest of their matches, closing with a −32 goal difference. A total revolution was needed and it came in 1935, when President of the club was chosen Kristaq Strati. He quickly organised the staff and made affiliations with the local amateur teams in Vlore, thus securing young talented players. The team changed the way of playing focusing more on technique and speed and creating its own style of play thanks to the job done by an early activist of the team, Besim Qorri. To complete the revolution on the team, the Board decided to change the team's name fromShoqëria Sportive Vlorë toShoqata Sportive Ismail Qemali. The next season proved to be more positive and Sh.S. Ismail Qemali finished seventh out of eight teams, but this time with three wins, three draws and eight losses with e goal difference of −21 (GF 14 – GA 35). Even though the team had some great results during the season, the most memorable being the 0–2 away win againstBashkimi Elbasanas, it still didn't avoid a record 11–0 defeat against rivalsTirana. The1937 championship was almost the same with the previous season with the team finishing 9th out of ten teams, leaving behind onlyTomori Berat thanks to a better goal difference.
On 7 April 1939, Albania was invaded byItaly and became an Italian protectorate. However, the invaders were careful to keep football going and thus the1939 championship started on 1 July 1939. Eight teams were separated in groups of four and played in a knock-out system with two-legged matches to qualify to the semi-finals.Sh.S. Ismail Qemali was drawn to play againstTeuta. The first match was played in Kavajë on July 2 and ended in a 1–1 draw. The second was played in theShallvare Ground inTirana on 6 August 1939 and ended 3–2 in favour of Teuta. This match was one of the earliest football matches to be transmitted onRadio Tirana, by Albanian journalist Anton Mazreku. After the end of the game,Sh.S. Ismail Qemali appealed the result, pretending that the last minutes of the game were played on total darkness and the result was affected by the lack of lighting. The Technical Commission decided that the game would be replayed. On 10 September 1939, once again at theShallvare Ground the two teams tried to eliminate each other butTeuta was superior and won the match by three to one. This meant the knockout of Sh.S. Ismail Qemali from the tournament.
In November 1944, Shoqata Sportive Ismail Qemali was re-opened. The championship began on 16 September 1945 and the club was playing againstVllaznia. SH.S. Ismail Qemali lost 1–0. The 1945 season saw the team end in fourth place in a 6 team league. The next championship would be better for The Fleet. On 22 June 1946, the club renamed itselfKlubi Sportiv Flamurtari Vlorë. The 1946 season saw Flamurtari going to the championship final after winning First Division Group B. The final was played in two legs, one inVlorë and one inShkodër. Flamurtari lost both matches with an aggregated score of 5–0. In 1948, Flamurtari played once again in the final, still losing toPartizani Tirana, 6–2 inQemal Stafa. In 1951 the club changed its name toPuna Vlorë, but in 1958 the club used once again the nameFlamurtari. In 1954 Flamurtari participated in the Spartak Cup and won the competition after beatingVllaznia 6–0 andKS Teuta andYlli i Kuq Pogradec 2–0. After reaching twice the championship final, in 1960 made it to theAlbanian Cup final. In the first round playing againstYlli i Kuq Pogradec and beating them both at home and away matches. In the second round Flamurtari would play againstBesa Kavajë. The teams drew both matches and had to go on extra time. After 90 minutes played inKavaje and 135 minutes played inVlorë the two teams were still equal. Flamurtari passed the second round thanks to the corners rule: the team that had more corners would qualify. These were 8 to 5 for Flamurtari. In the third round Flamurtari played againstSkënderbeu Korçë. The first match inVlorë ended in a 3–0 win for the home side. InKorçë, in the 2nd leg match,Skënderbeu Korçë were leading 3–0 in half-time. In the second half Flamurtari made one of the greatest comebacks in the history ofAlbanian football winning 4–3 in the end of the 90 minutes. In the final the team played againstDinamo Tirana and they lost 1–0 after a hard-fought match. The next years were almost same for the team, placed always in mid-table.
In the 1980s Flamurtari regained their former status as one of the big names inAlbanian football. Flamurtari finished in 8th place in the 1980–81 season, but in the following season rose to second, runners-up toSK Tirana. During the season Flamurtari remained unbeaten in all matches at home in all competitions. In 1981 Flamurtari would participate for the first time in an international cup, theBalkans Cup. They playedAEK Athens but they lost 3–2 in theOlympic Stadium ofAthens. They finished second in their group with two wins and two losses, achieving 7–8 goals in the process. In 1983–84 Flamurtari once again reached the Albanian Cup final but lost to Tirana. In the season after, Flamurtari won the Albanian Cup. They defeatedKF Partizani and thus claimed their first ever professional trophy.
The 1985–86 season saw Flamurtari etch their name into Albanian football legend. In a razor-close title race, they finished runners-up toDinamo Tirana —denied the championship solely on goal difference—a testament to their relentless brilliance. Their reward? A historic debut in theUEFA Cup, where destiny paired them with the mightyFC Barcelona.
What followed was an epic showdown that defied expectations. In the first leg inVlorë, Flamurtari electrified their home crowd, seizing a 1–0 lead in the 26th minute. But Barcelona, spared by fortune, clawed back a late away goal to level the tie 1–1 in injury time. Undaunted, Flamurtari marched into the hallowedCamp Nou for the second leg and delivered a masterclass in defiance, holding the Catalan giants to a 0–0 stalemate—a result that sent shockwaves through Europe. Yet, the cruel away goals rule saw Flamurtari exit the tournament, their heads high as conquerors who’d outplayed Barcelona in spirit if not on paper.
Their season of near-glories didn’t end there. Flamurtari again clinched second place in the league and stormed into theAlbanian Cup final, where they narrowly fell 4–3 on aggregate toVllaznia in a thriller. Though trophies eluded them, Flamurtari’s 1985–86 campaign cemented their legacy as a team of unyielding heart, leaving fans and rivals alike in awe of their audacity.
After a great season, Flamurtari secured qualification for theUEFA Cup for the second consecutive year. Their first-round opponents,Partizan Belgrade, were meat with a dominant 2-0 victory in Vlorë, courtesy of a stellar strike by Iljadhi and an own goal. The decisive second leg took place atNarodna Armija Stadium on 30 September 1987. Trailing 2–0 into the match, Flamurtari's hopes were reignited in the 76th minute whenSokol Kushta scored a historic goal, propelling his team into the next round on a 3-2 victory on aggregate.
In the second round, Flamurtari were drawn againstWismut Aue. The first leg inAue ended in a narrow 0-1 defeat for the Albanian side, with goalkeeper Weisflog repeatedly thwarting their efforts. However, Aue had no answer in the return leg, as Flamurtari dominated with a decisive 2-0 victory. The result sealed their progression on aggregate, ensuring a memorable comeback in the tournament, and the first time in history that an Albanian team had progressed to the third round of a European competition.
In a fiery third-round showdown, Flamurtari collided once more with European titansFC Barcelona. The first leg, staged at the iconicCamp Nou on 25 November before 35,000 roaring fans, began as a fairy tale: Flamurtari stunned the footballing world by netting a first-half goal, striding into halftime with an unthinkable 0–1 lead against the Catalan giants. Though the Catalan giants rallied with a second-half barrage to snatch a 4–1 victory, Flamurtari’s spirit remained unbroken. In the return leg, the Albanian heroes summoned their pride, delivering a 1–0 triumph that roared defiance into the night. Alas, the aggregate math fell cruelly short—but not before Flamurtari had humbled Barcelona on their own turf and proven their mettle as giantslayers. Their six-match odyssey in theUEFA Cup ended not with shame, but with a blaze of honor, their legacy forever burnished by courage and grit.
In the same season Flamurtari went all the way to win theAlbanian Cup, after beatingKF Partizani, 1–0, and securing their second cup title. In 1989 Flamurtari played in theCup Winners Cup againstLech Poznań. After two games Flamurtari was eliminated by losing both home and away matches, 4–2 on aggregate. In theKategoria Superiore the team finished in the third place. Just a year after Flamurtari lifted for the first time in their history theKategoria Superiore title. After some stunning results during the season (including beating runners-up Partizani 3–0 and third-placeVllaznia 5–2), they won the championship with a six-point lead. In the same year they would win also theAlbanian Supercup.
After the fall of communism, Flamurtari had difficult moments. Many players left the club and went to play abroad. In the 1991–92 season the club started the championship with −6 points because of financial irregularities. Flamurtari finished theKategoria e Pare in sixth place. In the next season the club faced a huge crisis finishing the season 13th out of 16 teams. But the team improved a lot and many new players from the Youth Academy were brought in. The 1993–94 season saw Flamurtari finishing 2nd and makingStadiumi Flamurtari a fortress, winning nine and drawing four out of 13 matches played home, but away from home the team had some horrible results culminating with a 5–0 away defeat toKF Laçi. The next two seasons Flamurtari would finish in fourth place. The 1996–97 would be the best season for Flamurtari after the fall of communism. The team had a great start in the season with eight wins in the first nine games. Finishing the 1st phase of the championship in the first place, Flamurtari started the second phase while Albania was suffering the 1997 riots. Flamurtari was leading until the week the championship was suspended and the Albanian Football Association decided to play all games after inTirana, something Flamurtari could not afford because of the danger. So, after the games were playedKF Tirana ended up winning the Championship, while Flamurtari finished in third place. The next seasons would be the worst for the team in the last 30 years with the team having its best placement in the 1998–99 season finishing 11th in a 16 team league.
Flamurtari Vlorë fans are considered as the most passionate in Albania. They are, also, the vast majority of all Albania, with at least 20% of all Albanians. This is related with the fact that there has not been other football team inVlorë. Usually, as mentioned in Petraq Hanxhari's book "Per ty, Flamurtar! (For you, Flamurtar!)" from Monday to Thursday the fans used to talk in every pub about the team's last game and condition of the players. On Thursday, after the team's usual test match with any local side, the fans would talk about the next game. But nowadays, the support for Flamurtari has been going down. Even though the ticket sales and the number of season-ticket holders has increased rapidly since 1999 (the lowest average attendance in the entire Flamurtari's history), there are much fewer in comparison with the Communist era. The two fan clubs supporting Flamurtari are "Dragonjte Kuqezi (Red and Black Dragons)" and "Flota Kuqezi (The Red and Black Fleet)". The latter usually stay in the East Stand, commonly known as "Tribuna C".
Flamurtari Vlorë's main rival isKF Vllaznia Shkodër. During the 1970s, both clubs used to play the most beautiful football in Albania and the matches between them were the most attended from the supporters. The relations between the two clubs in and out of field were rude and supporters usually have had troubles and violence. Other rivals include the capital teams:Dinamo Tirana,KF Tirana andPartizani Tirana. The rivalry with the capital teams comes from the 1980s famous matches between the clubs. There is a lesser rivalry withApolonia Fier andTeuta. The matches against Teuta are called the "coastal derbies". At years 2011–13, Flamurtari Vlorë had some troubles againstSkënderbeu Korçë because of a clash between the fans of each team but the violence has subsided.
Before the construction of the stadium, the club played their home games on a field known as Varri i Halimit, which translates to Halimi's Tomb. The field was located near Uji i Ftohtë, which is where the club's training ground is located. The stadium was built in 1961 with an initial capacity of 6,500, and was expanded to 11,000 in 1975 following reconstruction. During the club's golden era the stadium would attract crowds of up to 15,000 spectators and in 1987 when the club facedBarcelona in theUEFA Cup there was a crowd of 18,500, making it the ground's record attendance. Between 2004 and 2012 the ground was under recurring development with the aid of theAlbanian Football Association which saw the ground converted into anall-seater stadium with a capacity of 8,500. In addition to the construction of the stands and the installation of seats, a new parking lot was built and floodlights were installed for the first time.
The club's traditional colours are red and black, after theAlbanian flag which was used byIsmail Qemali to declare Albania's independence inVlorë on 28 November 1912. When the club was founded, it was agreed that the colours of the club would match those of the flag, as it had a played a significant role in the city's history. Flamurtari's first crest was designed in 1930 ahead of the club's first competitive match in the inauguralAlbanian Football Championship, and it was designed to resemble the Vlorë Municipalitycoat of arms. Following theSecond World War the club changed its crest to the shape of a shield, with the initial F in black in the middle of the shield on a red background. In the 1980s the club's crest changed once again but the shape and style still remained, but the club still placed the initial F on the football kits rather than the full crest until 2000. On 3 August 2015 the club announced that the crest would be changed ahead of the 2015–16 campaign as part of rebranding strategy,[2] but they faced immediate pressure from fans as well as the local municipality who were unhappy at both the decision to change the crest and the new design.[3][4] The shield shape was replaced by a circle with an F and half of a double headed eagle, as found on the Albanian flag.
A photograph of the first ever official championship game, taken on 6 April 1930, shows the players wearing a white jersey with a thick black horizontal stripe at the chest, black shorts and black socks. This design was common inEngland where post office worker and Flamurtari's president, Milto Korcari, ordered them from. Later, in 1937, the team adopted the vertical stripes and started playing in a red jersey with thin vertical black stripes, black shorts and black socks. In the first years of the team's history the kits featured even the team's emblem while later this was replaced with a golden "F" sewn in the middle of the chest.
AfterWorld War II, the team started using red kits, white shorts and red socks. In different championships the team used black shorts instead of white, similar to the design of theAlbania national football team. The away kit was all white. This proved to be a popular design with the fans because it reminded them of the national team. In the 1960s however the primary kit was changed again and a new one was introduced. The new kit was white with three vertical stripes in the center (Red – Black – Red), black shorts and black socks. The red kit which earlier had been used as a home kit was now used as an away kit for the first team but it remained as a home kit for the youth team. In 1975 the club decided to reverse once again the kits and the red kit with white shorts and red socks became again the home kit. Away the team used its traditional white kit with the three central vertical stripes.
1981 marked the start of a new era at the club. Apart from a new promising generation of footballers blooming from the youth setup and great results on the pitch, a new kit was introduced which remains until today, with minor changes, the club's home kit. The kit was similar to the one used in the late 1930s, red with thin vertical black stripes, red shorts and red socks while the away kit was still the same. The kit proved to be popular with the fans, primarily because of the colours, which are the Albaniannational colours, but also with the great achievements the team reached in this period.
Over the years the home kit has not had major changes and the design has remained almost the same, with the change being in the primary colour of the team, sometimes red and sometimes black, and in the colour of the shorts and socks which have changed from red to black. The away kit has been for many years the same with the club using an all-white in only five seasons since 1981.
A new third kit was introduced for the first time in 2005 to celebrate the team winning theAlbanian First Division title. It was all red with red shirts, red shorts and red socks. The kit was used rarely and was dropped for the next season. In 2007 the numbers on the back were of golden colour for the first time in the club's history as the colour mainly used has been white. For the2011–12 Albanian Superliga the team used an outfit based mostly on black. The kit featured a black chevron and red and black stripes below it, black shorts and black socks. The away kit remained the traditional away kit.
For the2012–13 Albanian Superliga, Flamurtari used aLegea design based primarily on red with black thick stripes, black shorts and black socks, while the club decided to drop the traditional away kit in favour of an all-white one.
