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 tournament of 1929-1931, which started in 1929 (although Albania eventually retired from the competition, before the competition started).
FSHF was founded on June 6, 1930, and Albania had to wait 16 years to play its first international match, debuting against 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.
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.
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.
Haan was replaced by Croatian coach Josip Kuže in May 2009. Kuže parted ways with Albania almost three years later, in December 2011, when coach Gianni de Biasi replaced him.
