KF Tirana (, in English Football club Tirana) is the most successful Albanian football club earning 47 major trophies in the country and is branch of Multiple Sport Klub of Tirana (Football Men's). KF Tirana is the most popular football club in the country with a considerable number of supporters. KF Tirana team plays its home games in the capital of Albania, Tirana, at the Selman Stërmasi stadium or at the Qemal Stafa stadium. The club was founded on August 16, 1920 under the name of "Agimi Sports Association". In 1927 the club was renamed to SK Tirana (), in 1947, to "17 Nëntori Tirana", from 1952 to 1956 to "Puna Tirana", and in 1991 the club was renamed KF Tirana. Tirana won its first title of Albanian champions in the first Albanian Football Championship. KF Tirana is also the only club in Albania to have played all the championships of the Albanian Superliga since 1930 and all the Albanian Cups started in 1938. Additionally, white and blues are the most successful albanian club in Europe having passed 10 times the first round along their 45-year history. The club participated in an European Cup competition in 1965–66 for the first time. KF Tirana has been appointed an ECA member. The club also has women's football team called Tirana AS who are the winners of the first two official organised events held so far in Albania. They also have a futsal called Futsal Klub Tirana who have won the Albanian Mini-Football Championship 5 times out of a possible 8, and they have competed in the UEFA Futsal Cup in five occasions.
The best squad to compete in Europe was that of season 2004/05. After having easily passed FC Gomel of Belarus in the first round, Tirana played against Ferencvárosi TC in the second round. Having lost the first leg at home 2–3, KF Tirana produced fantastic football in Budapest and was leading 1–0, after which the team missed a penalty and the ball hit woodwork twice, but they just could not score the qualifying goal and therefore were eliminated with a 3–3 on aggregate.
On the 14th October 2008, KF Tirana and AC Milan took part, for the first time ever, in the "Taci Oil Albania Reads" project in Tirana. This new initiative had the goal to raise funds for the construction of new and modern libraries across Albania, a project launched by UNICEF. The proceeds of this event, sponsored by Taci Oil helped to create 100 new libraries in Albanian schools, whilst also driving forward the improvement in learning, teaching and reading standards in schools. KF Tirana won the match 2–1.
Although Tirana won the title in 2008/09, it was a glowless season. The problems started again in 2009/10 where the club just couldn't be a match for champions KS Dinamo in Superior League and were eliminated early in the Cup from KS Besa.
The only consolation of another failed season was the achievement of Europa League first qualifying round participation. Having a coefficient of 1.799 KF Tirana ranked among seeded teams on the first round. The draw goggles in Nyon revealed Zalaegerszegi TE as first round opponent. Having drawn goalless at the first leg in home soil, KF Tirana won their second away match 1–0 in 107' of extra time via a marvellous free kick from Erindo Karabeci and KF Tirana qualified with a scoreline 1–0 in aggregates. The following round gave Tirana a much tougher opponent, FC Utrecht. The Dutch team beat the white and blues 4–0 in the first away leg, as the second leg ended 1–1 draw.Thus KF Tirana were eliminated with a 1–5 aggregate scoreline, focusing the attention in the incoming Domestic League.
White and blues yet again didn't make a good start of the 2010/2011 Domestic League, due to some controversies between the president and club chief, as well as unexplainable delays in paying players salaries, which had a negative impact in the team. As result, previous KF Tirana coach Sulejman Starova was sacked and replaced with 8 times legendary champion, Nevil Dede. The continuous unpleasant results caused Tirana presidency to finally sack coach Nevil Dede and replace him with croatian Mišo Krstičević changing coaches thrice in one season. Contrary to the League, KF Tirana did very well in the Cup winning against Dinamo Tirana by penalties 4:3, as regular and extra time finished in a 1–1 draw, earning also the participation in Europa League for second time in a row.
Nonotheless, late preparations, late new players arrivals, even late new coach appointment gave the negative effects either in team consolidation, or poor performance in Europa League. Starting from 2-nd qualifying round, having drawn goalless first match home, Tirana suffered a 1-3 away loss against slovakian opponent FC Spartak Trnava and were therefore knocked out early from the competition.
The new 2011/2012 season started very well for now a consolidated Tirana. They added another trophy in their wealthy palmares, the 9-th Albanian Supercup by winning the final match against defending champions KF Skënderbeu Korçë in their own soil, with a single goal of Bekim Bala.
