Riza Lushta (22 January 1916 – 6 February 1997) was a Kosovar Albanian footballer who played as a striker.

It was in his hometown that he would begin to play football with the local club KF Trepça, where he quickly established himself as one of the most effective strikers the city and even region had ever seen.

An unimpressive results may seem, but sufficiently startling to giants Juventus would bite on attracting over Albanian to the old lady.

24 goals in 34 games in total during the same year, of which a hat-trick on himself Milan in the final shot up the name Lushta to the skies in both Italy and the continent.

But not with a rifle in his hand, but this time in the French league and the club AS Cannes, a short spell that Lushta ended when he got the offer to return to Italy and Alessandria, where he rounded off a new season with 17 goals before he finished his pro career with AC Siena.

He chose for this to unwind in the slightly smaller clubs Forlì and Rapallo Ruentes in Italy before ending his football career in 1954 at 38 years old.
