[edit] Achievements
(1991)
- Albanian Cup: 2
(1985, 1988)
- European Cups:
At the international level, they are best known for a series of good results obtained in the late 80's, being one of the most successful Albanian football team in the history of European cups. In 1986-1987 UEFA Cup season they played against Barcelona. The Spanish giants managed to knock them out only with the help of a late away goal (1-1 in Vlore and 0-0 at Barcelona). In the next season (1987-1988) Flamurtari managed to knock-out Partizan Belgrad (Yugoslavia, 2-0 in Vlore and 1-2 in Belgrad) and Wismut Aue (former GDR, 0-1 in Aue and 2-0 in Vlore) before losing again to Barcelona (1-4 at Barcelona and 1-0 at Vlore). This seems to be until today the best participation of an Albanian team in European Cups.
