Skënder Jareci (5 May 1931 – 9 March 1984) was an Albanian football (soccer) player who played in midfield for Teuta Durrës and Dinamo Tirana for the Albanian national team. He is the eighth top goal scorer in Albanian league history with 122 goals.[1]

Career

Jareci was born in Durrës in 1931 to parents from Dibër who had moved to Durrës in 1920 to escape conflict with neighboring Yugoslavs. His father had established himself as successful trader in Durrës, but was arrested and killed by the Albanian communists in the late 1940s once they had taken control of the country.[2]
