Then in 1930 the club changed it's name to 'Sport Klub Kavaja', also known as 'Besa Sport Klub', derived from Besa, the Albanian cultural precept meaning "to keep the promise" and "word of honor".
The first match the football ever played took place in Mali i Robit, Golem against the Albanian-American Institute in a friendly. In 1930 the club joined the newly formed Albanian Football Association, and participated in the 1930 second tier championship, where they would repeat their participation for the next two seasons before joining the top tier Kategoria e Parë in 1933. In their first top flight championship KS Kavaja finished last in the 5 team league, losing 7 games and winning just one, a 2-1 victory over local rivals Teuta Durrës.[1]
