Albanian Kupa e Shqipërisë All Winners (1939-2024) | Albania Cup

Kupa e Shqipërisë (Albanian Cup) is the premier domestic knockout competition in Albanian football, established in 1930. The tournament is contested annually by clubs from the Albanian Superliga, as well as teams from lower divisions. It follows a single-elimination format, with teams playing home and away matches in the early rounds, culminating in a final match to determine the winner. The competition is highly prestigious in Albanian football, offering not only a domestic trophy but also a place in the UEFA Europa Conference League, giving clubs the opportunity to compete on the European stage. The Albanian Cup has seen dominance from clubs like Tirana and Vllaznia, with Tirana historically being the most successful team in the tournament's history. However, other clubs such as Partizani and Kukësi have also enjoyed success in recent years. The cup is widely regarded as an important part of the Albanian football calendar, offering teams outside of the top league regulars the chance to claim silverware. The competition is also known for its unpredictability, often featuring exciting upsets and passionate matchups between clubs of all sizes.
