Makoto Nakamura Posted August 13, 2021 Author Share Posted August 13, 2021 December 2024 8 more goals and 2 more wins but it doesn't change anything as Dajti Kamez won both their games and we're still only 2 points above a resurgent Labinoti Elbasan and they're down in 5th.

Makoto Nakamura Posted August 13, 2021 Author Share Posted August 13, 2021 January 2025 We're blowing the league away when it comes to scoring, if only we could stop conceding them! Pio the GK is back for us for the 2nd half of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Nakamura Posted August 13, 2021 Author Share Posted August 13, 2021 February 2025 Just a last gasp winner to keep us in the title race as we move further behind Dajti and we're just as close to 6th as we are to 1st. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Nakamura Posted August 15, 2021 Author Share Posted August 15, 2021 March 2025 An unbeaten month with a draw against the league leaders, it looks like we'll be battling it out for 2nd as Erzeni have completely fallen off the pace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makoto Nakamura Posted August 15, 2021 Author Share Posted August 15, 2021 April 2025 A defeat to Labinoti but the big shock is that we defeated Dajti Kamez as they seem to be having a downturn in form which means we're just a solitary point behind them!

Makoto Nakamura Posted August 15, 2021 Author Share Posted August 15, 2021 2025/26 End of Season Review And surprise surprise, a mixed end to the season. I think now that if I do get any bigger Albanian clubs offer me an interview I will go to the interview, I have no plans to leave Albania but I think I'd be willing to manage a bigger club, apart from Vilaznia Shkoder, because their colour scheme is horrible. 99% capacity and no money for upgrades.

Makoto Nakamura Posted August 15, 2021 Author Share Posted August 15, 2021 The club was founded on 29 January 1920 as Klubi Sportiv Urani, which literally translates to Uranium Sport Club, and they changed their name to Sport Klub Durrës just two years later 1922. They kept the same name until they joined the Albania National Championship as one of the original six members alongside SK Tiranë, Skënderbeu Korçë, Bashkimi Shkodran, Urani Elbasan and Sportklub Vlorë. In 1930, before entering the National Championship, the club changes its name to the Klubi Sportiv Teuta Durrës, in reference to Queen Teuta of Illyria. In the first National Championship they finished fifth out of six teams, collecting three wins and two draws out of ten games. The following season they finished as runners-up in the league, as they lost 4–1 in the championship final against SK Tiranë, where the club's goalkeeper Niko Dovana famously scored the equaliser in the first leg which ended in a 1–1 draw. After Communism took control of Albania the club was forced to change its name to KS Ylli i Kuq Durrës, literally meaning KS Red Star Durrës. Just 3 years later in 1950 the club dropped KS Red Star Durrës from its name and was simply called SK Durrës once again, before renaming to SK Puna Durrës a 1-year later in 1951. The club changed its name again in 1958 to KS Lokomotiva Durrës which they kept until the fall of Communism in Albania in 1991. Since 1991 the club has renamed KS Teuta Durrës, with the football team being called KF Teuta. This is no longer a one-club save, I turned down a couple of good offers last season, not so this season as we move just 40 minutes down the road. We move from a club with 30 season ticket holders to a club with 3,279. Now this is a team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
