Tirana and Partizani faced off in their derby during the 19th round of the 1967 Championship at a sold-out stadium. The match was completed in full and ended with a score of 2:1. Fans were calmly departing the stands, and as the players had already exited the field and were moving toward the locker rooms, two opposing players engaged in a verbal exchange that concluded right away.http://www.sktirana.com/public/kuvend/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=313 SK Tirana Forum Sktirana.com 25 March 2014 19 February 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20140219233952/http://www.sktirana.com/public/kuvend/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=313 dead http://www.ballikombit.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=83&Itemid=9 Dictature eliminates true champions Ballikombit.org 25 March 2014 4 October 2018 https://web.archive.org/web/20181004150135/http://www.ballikombit.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=83&Itemid=9 dead The next morning's paper headlines were a big shock to fans of both sides: "AFA's direct decision results in Tirana and Partizani forfeiting the match 0:3, losing 3 points each, and subsequently defaulting their remaining matches!" Numerous people were wondering: "what happened, the game was held on the field, it generated a lot of feelings and supporters accepted the outcome." What actions did teams take to warrant such severe treatment?http://www.sktirana.com/public/kuvend/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=313 SK Tirana Forum Sktirana.com 25 March 2014 19 February 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20140219233952/http://www.sktirana.com/public/kuvend/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=313 dead http://www.ballikombit.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=83&Itemid=9 Dictature eliminates true champions Ballikombit.org 25 March 2014 4 October 2018 https://web.archive.org/web/20181004150135/http://www.ballikombit.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=83&Itemid=9 dead Nonetheless, it became apparent days later that the choice to expel both teams originated from the Ministry of Affairs and was handed over to AFA for implementation. Because Partizani was out of the title race due to a significant points deficit and Dinamo's only route to the title involved defeating Tirana - the current table leaders, they ultimately used the minor verbal exchange between two players after the match as a justification. The reality is they simply couldn't accept that KF Tirana was on the verge of claiming the 3rd consecutive title, rather than Partizani or Dinamo. On the day the championship trophy was presented, Skënder Jareci, the manager of Dinamo, refused to take it on the customary lap of honor, stating that Dinamo didn't genuinely deserve that title! By forfeiting that match and losing the subsequent 3 remaining matches, Dinamo would automatically gain enough points to overtake Tirana and win the title. It was a disgrace for Albanian football, such that even UEFA still refrains to recognize the champions Dinamo for that year. The next season, because of the disqualification farce, Dinamo were denied entry to the European Cup by UEFA; their opponents, Braunschweig, received a walkover and eventually reached the quarter-finals.Skifter Kellici – KF Tirana punishment of 1967July 2026 InternetArchiveBot Results main FBR grey 17N BES DIN FLA LAB LOK LUF PAR SKË TOM TRA VLL Besa 0–1 2–1 0–0 0–0 3–0 1–1 3–0 2–0 1–0 2–1 2–1 Dinamo 2–2 4–0 3–0 2–0 3–0 2–2 3–0 2–1 7–3 9–2 3–2 Flamurtari 1–0 0–3 2–4 1–1 0–0 0–1 1–2 0–2 2–2 1–1 2–3 Labinoti 0–0 0–0 4–2 1–0 1–2 0–2 0–4 0–4 1–0 0–0 0–1 Lokomotiva 0–0 0–2 0–0 0–2 1–1 3–0 3–3 0–1 0–0 0–0 0–1 Luftëtari 0–0 2–3 0–1 0–0 1–2 0–3 1–2 0–0 2–1 2–2 1–5 17 Nëntori 4–1 3–1 2–1 1–1 2–0 5–1 – 2–1 0–3 3–0 3–2 Partizani 0–0 2–2 2–2 1–0 4–0 4–0 2–3 0–3 0–1 2–0 4–0 Skënderbeu 1–0 0–2 1–1 2–1 1–0 5–0 0–0 0–0 0–1 0–0 2–1 Tomori 1–1 0–2 1–0 1–0 0–1 1–0 0–2 1–1 1–0 1–3 0–1 Traktori 0–3 1–3 1–0 0–2 1–1 3–0 3–0 0–1 0–0 0–0 0–1 Vllaznia 1–3 0–0 2–2 3–0 1–1 1–0 0–2 2–2 0–0 2–1 3–1 The 17th round match between 17 Nëntori and Partizani, which originally ended 2–0, was lost by 0–3 to both teams from Albanian Football Association.
