The Shkëndija women’s football team was established in September 2010, largely from the efforts of Jovan Bardhi, a coach at the “Sport Mastery” school in Durrës.

With the support of a small group of local girls, Bardhi launched a new chapter for women’s football in the region.

Ilda Topçiu, a celebrated figure in Albanian women’s volleyball, joined as an assistant coach.

Training sessions took place between the Sport Palace in Durrës and the Niko Dovana Stadium, with head coach Ardian Cako leading preparations for the team’s participation in the second national women’s football championship.

The first players to wear the Shkëndija jersey included L. Gjini, G. Mehmetaj, E. Lici, Xh.
