PARTIZANI

SC Partizani Tirana was officially founded on 4 February 1946 soon after the end of World War II and the liberation of Albania as a club representing the Albanian Army. The Army was developed into an organised sports club which was to be named in honour of the Albanian Partisans who had fought for the liberation of the country. In the early history of the club they recruited players from the Scanderbeg Military High School and Albanian Military Academy, as well as players from other clubs. On 7 April the club played their first official match under the name Partizani, which was against another team from the same city 17 Nëntori Tiranë. Since them this Club has dominated the Albanian sports as it has been one of the best associations.
