The '''Albanian National Association Football Team''' is the national [[association football]] team of [[Albania]] and is controlled by the [[Football Association of Albania]] (FSHF).

Although it never played any matches, the Albanian national football team existed before FSHF was created. This is witnessed by the registration of the team in the [[Balkan Cup 1929-31|Balkan Cup]] tournament of 1929-1931, which started in 1929 (although Albania eventually retired from the competition, before the competition started).<ref>[http://www.zemrashqiptare.net/news/id-2781/Giovanni_Armillotta:_Kryeziu,_Lushta,_Bori%C3%A7i_e_Llambi.html Giovanni Armillotta: Kryeziu, Lushta, Boriçi e Llambi 31.03.2008]</ref> FSHF was founded on June 6, 1930, and Albania had to wait 16 years to play its first international match, debuting against [[Yugoslavia national football team|Yugoslavia]] in 1946. In 1932, Albania joined [[FIFA]] (during the congress June 12 — June 16) and in 1954, it was one of the founding members of [[UEFA]].

== Recent developments ==

In December 2007, Football Association of Albania's president, [[Armand Duka]], announced [[Arie Haan]] would replace Croatian-Austrian [[Otto Barić]] as Albania's head coach. Haan signed a two-year contract on January 4, 2008.<ref name="AFP"/>

On March 14, 2008, [[Albania]] was suspended from international football ([[FIFA]] and [[UEFA]]), due to heavy political interference in the Football Association. The suspension lasted 46 days.<ref>[http://edition.cnn.com/2008/SPORT/football/04/29/fifa.albania.ap/index.html Albania suspension lifted by FIFA] {{dead link|date=November 2010}}</ref><ref>[http://canadianpress.google.com/article/ALeqM5jqvqNymxClrCYxj_JwtH29T7OgTA FIFA says its emergency committee has decided to lift suspension of Albania] {{dead link|date=November 2010}}</ref><ref>[http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2008/04/29/sports/EU-SPT-SOC-FIFA-Albania.php FIFA lifts suspension of Albania over alleged interference]</ref>

Haan was replaced by Croatian coach [[Josip Kuže]] in May 2009.<ref>[http://www.tvkoha.tv/1300/josip-kuzhe-trajner-i-shqiperise.html JOSIP KUZHE TRAJNER I SHQIPËRISË Televizioni Koha 19/5/2009]</ref> Kuže parted ways with Albania almost three years later, in December 2011, when coach [[Gianni de Biasi]] replaced him.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.fifa.com/worldfootball/news/newsid=1557440.html|publisher=[[Fifa.com]]|accessdate=2011-12-14|date=2011-12-14 |title=Albania name De Biasi coach}}</ref>
