History

edit

Over the years, Ada Velipojë evolved, with Lazër Matia spearheading the formation of a Vllaznia women's team, dissolving Ada into it, therefore donning the red and blue jerseys and continuing their winning streak. They achieved international success during the 2019-20 season when they reached the top 32 teams in the UEFA Women's Champions League.

In 2017, Vllaznia triumphed in the Balkan tournament held in Alexandroupolis, Greece, with decisive victories over its counterparts Tiverija of Strumica (6–1), Breznica of Pljevlja (1–0) and in the final against Thrace (7–0). The squad, coached by Nikolin Leka, included players like Ardiola Raxhimi, Valbona Lipe, Arbiona Bajraktari and others.
