About

Akademia e Futbollit Luftëtari, commonly known as Luftëtari (Albanian pronunciation: ), is a football club based in Gjirokastër. The club plays in the Kategoria e Parë, which is the second tier of football in the country. After the dissolution of KF Luftëtari due to debts, the Gjirokastra Municipality in December 2020 set in motion to establish a new club as successor of the KF Luftëtari, and at the beginning of February 2021 all the criteria set by the Albanian Football Association for the functioning of the team were met and the name of the team and the logo were revealed which would again stand with the blue and black colours, exactly those characteristic of KF Luftëtari in 91 years of history.
