KFF Vllaznia Shkodër

KFF Vllaznia Shkodër is an Albanian women's 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 the Abissnet Superiore. They have won the title eleven consecutive times, 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]
