Apolonia Fier Women

The ground on the edge of Fier carries the name Loni Papuçiu and holds 6,800, and the women's team shares every inch of it with the men. The women's side has never played anywhere but here.

It grew out of that older structure rather than beside it — a women's section opened in 2013 by the multi-sport club whose football branch had already gone its own way two decades earlier.

Arben Ymeraj took the first team and spent years getting close: two second-place finishes in the league. The breakthrough came in May 2024, when Apolonia beat Partizani Tirana 2–1 in the final at Shtëpia e Futbollit.

Xhesika Ndoj came through here, went through the Albania youth sides, and was named the country's talent of the year in 2024 before a senior call-up for World Cup qualifying.

What the trophy cabinet still lacks is a league title.
