With memories of the golden years (80's) of the albanian football still fresh on her mind, Albania is now attempting to recreate its strong football legacy. As young players start making their names abroad, the future is looking bright for Albanian football!

Impressed with Tirana.. especially since it's a new team. This team will easily cake walk the Albanian league next season.
It's a shame that they play Besiktas next and Partizani some Andorran team.
That’s why it’s so much easier to qualifier via the champions path. Qualifying via conference league path is so much more difficult for the smaller clubs.
It’s a shame that Partizani got cheap. Tirana for Superliga standards have some dynamic players with Hasani, Abazaj and Luskja. Both guys could have been available for Partizani.

Also Doka, Hoxhallari, Selmani.. These fringe/washed NT players can be effective at this level.

I can't believe Rrogozhina has a team. Are they all inmates who got locked up for selling weed?
Yes it's team of those guys who got caught with 300+ kg of weed, Agim Demrozi is the president of the club.
I don't know if it's the same guy, but there are articles online about an Agim Demrozi being charged with selling drugs in Durres (which is right next to Rrogozhine anyhow)

Partizani vs. Atletic d'Escaldes
Tirana vs Besiktas
Ballkani vs. Larne
Drita vs. Vikrotia Plzen
Dukagjini vs. Rijeka
Struga vs. Buducnost
Shkupi vs. Levski Sofia
Only Ballkani and Struga have a chance imo to go through.
Conference League Third Round should our teams progress further:
Atletic Club D’Escaldes-Partizani/ Tre Penne-Valmiera
Struga-Budocnost/ The New Saints-Swift Hesper
Ballkani-Larne/ Lincoln Red IMPS
Besiktas-Tirana/Zeljeznicar-Neftci
Shkupi-Levski Sofia/ Hapoel Ber Sheva-Panevz
Rijeka-Dukagjini/ B36 Torshavn-Haverfordwest
Viktoria Plzen-Drita/Gzira-Diddelang
On paper, Ballkani, Struga, and Partizani have an easy draw and should reach the playoffs.
Realistically, Ballkani is the only one most likely to not choke.
