KFF Vllaznia is an Albanian women's professional football club based in Shkodër. The club is considered by UEFA to be the successor club to Ada, who disbanded in 2013. They play their homes games at the Reshit Rusi Stadium and compete in Kategoria Superiore Femra. In conjuction with Ada, the franchise have won eleven consecutive titles, including an unbeaten run in the domestic league from 2013 to 2023 (conceding only 40 goals) which was only broken due to a disciplinary decision from the league.[1] Vllaznia is a concept in Albanian culture often translated as "brotherhood;" it refers to loyalty to one's fis (clan, tribe).[2]

History

[edit]

Over the years, Ada Velipojë evolved, with Lazër Matia spearheading the formation of a Vllaznia women's team, dissolving Ada into it, therefore putting on the red and blue jerseys and continuing their winning streak. They achieved international success during the 2019-20 season when they reached the top 32 teams in the UEFA Women's Champions League.

In 2017, Vllaznia triumphed in the Balkan tournament held in Alexandroupolis, Greece, with decisive victories over its counterparts Tiverija of Strumica (6–1), Breznica of Pljevlja (1–0) and in the final against Thrace (7–0). The squad, coached by Nikolin Leka, included players like Ardiola Raxhimi, Valbona Lipe, Arbiona Bajraktari and others.
