Klubi Sportiv Kastrioti Krujë is an Albanian football club based in the city of Krujë. The club's home ground is the Kastrioti Stadium which has a capacity of 8,000 spectators and they currently compete in the Albanian Superliga.
History
Early history
The club was founded in 1926 as the city of Krujë's main sports club. During a brief spell in 1949 the club was dissolved, but was quickly re-established under the name of the city, Krujë. Two years later in 1951 the club was renamed Puna Krujë before reverting it back to simply Krujë again in 1958, which they later added Kastrioti to, in honour of the nobel Kastrioti family of which Albania's national hero Skanderbeg hailed from.
Rise and fall (1989-2006)
For many years the club only competed in the lower divisions of Albanian football, but they managed to achieve promotion to the top tier Albanian Superliga in 1990 for the very first time. During their debut season in the top flight the club finished in 12th place out of 14 teams with a record of 12 wins, 10 draws and 17 losses.[1] The following season they would again finish 2 places from the bottom, in 14th place out of 16 teams,[2] a feat they would replicate the following season once again, but this time the league format had changed and the club was relegated to the Albanian First Division.[3] The club returned to the top flight in 1995 after winning the 1994-95 First Divison title and gaining promotion.[4] However, this was only short lived as they were relegated in their first season back after finishing in penultimate place.[5] They would have to wait 10 years to return to the Superliga once again, as they achieved promotion in the 2004-05 season after finishing 3rd in the First Division.[6]
Recent history (2006-present)
During the 2005-06 season the club finished in its best league position of 8th place out of 12 teams and secured top flight football for another season.[7] The following season they were relegated after losing in the promotion and relegtion play off against KS Lushnja 4-2 on penalties after a goalless stalemate.[8] Kastrioti were immediately promoted after finishing in 3rd place and reaching the play offs for promotion, where they beat Partizani Tirana 1-0 to gain promotion.[9] The club had to feature in the play off once again after finishing 9th out of 12 teams, but they beat KS Lushnja 1-0 to remain in the top flight.[10]
As of Summer 2011 the club has changed its status into a SH.A. The investments made by the new ownership in infrastructure and player acquisitions have turned out to be very successful. Kastrioti has never won the Albanian Superlige but has won the championship title in The first Division and Second Division.
KS Kastrioti is a SH.A with 75% of the shares owned by Albansport sh.p.k the exclusive distributor of adidas and Reebok in Albania and 25% by the Municipality of Kruje.
