  1. ^ Players who are still active for the national team are players who have not retired from international football and are, subsequently, eligible to be called up.
  2. ^ Ervin Bulku was invited in almost all 8 games valid for the UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying Group I and participated only once on the bench on 29 March 2015 against Armenia. However he wasn't included in the pre-eleminary 27-man squad by coach Gianni De Biasi for the UEFA Euro 2016 finals.
  3. ^ Hamdi Salihi participated in 7 out 8 games valid for the UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying Group I play once as a substitute on 29 March 2015 against Armenia. However he wasn't included in the pre-eleminary 27-man squad by coach Gianni De Biasi for the UEFA Euro 2016 finals.
  4. ^ Jahmir Hyka debutted for Albania in the UEFA Euro 2008 qualifying and played 38 matches until the start of the UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying, in which Albania managed to advance in the final stages with Hyka never getting an invitation during the whole campaign and final stages also. Following the admition of Kosovo in UEFA & FIFA, some fellow midfielders of Albania departed to the new national side, opening ways to Hyka to return in squad for Albania where he played 6 matches valid for the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification Group G scoring also 1 goal but failing to advance in the final stages.
