1991–92 Albanian National Championship

The 1991–92 Albanian National Championship was the 53rd season of the Albanian National Championship, the top professional league for association football clubs, since its establishment in 1930. The season began on 21 September 1991 and concluded on 17 May 1992. Flamurtari began the season as defending champions of the 1990–91 season, with Laçi, Pogradeci and Selenica being promoted from the Kategoria e Dytë as the league was expanded from 14 to 16 teams and the total number of fixtures reduced for the 1991–92 season, as clubs faced each twice rather than 3 times.[1]
