Futboll Klub Vllaznia

Hello everyone. Can you tell me on which ground is currently KF Vllaznia playing because I understand that the Loro Boriçi Stadium is renovating?

Hello,

Currently Vllaznia is playing in Shkoder, at Reshit Rusi stadium.

Previously Vllaznia play at Terbuni's stadium, Ismail Xhemali.

Will the two remaining matches this year (against KS Terbuni Puke and KF Bylis Ballsh) be played also at that ground?

Yes these match will be played at Reshit Rusi.
All home matches will be there until the reconstruction of Loro Boriçi will end.
There is not a deadline for the reconstruction, but I think that in march 2016 the new stadium can be ready.

P.S. Why you are interested on venue matches?

There is a strong possibility that I need to attend these matches officially.
I am a Serb and is not very recommended for a guy from my country to ramble across Albania without a plan...
Thanks for the updates.

You are welcome,
I think that there is not a problem for "pacific" Serbs to go across Albania
Anyway I hope that you will enjoy Shkodra and Albania, if you need any other information feel free to write us.

Well, like I assumed, I need to attend on match against KF Bylis Ballsh.
As I understud, this is where it would be played?


Also, can you maybe tell me what is the easiest way to come in Shkodra from Montenegro?
Is it better from Podgorica or from Ulcinj?

Hello, Yes the place where the match will be played is like you show on the map.
Reshit Rusi is his name.
The stadium is very small and has a capacity of 1000 person, that was used before for the youth team and is used from Vllaznia until the reconstruction of Loro Boriçi will end.

The distance from Ulcinj to Shkoder and from Podgorica to Shkoder is the same and need about 1 hour, and depends where are you in Montenegro. Maybe the road from Podgorica to Shkoder is more comfortable like from Ulcinj.
Unfortunately, I'm not in Shkoder so, I can't help you to go there.

I hope that you will enjoy the match and I'm waiting the feedback

Will there be any problems to enter the stadium due to crowd?

I don't think that there can be any problem due to the crowd.

Hello Groundhopper,
did you has attend the match?

Please can you share your review/feedback with us?

Are you still a live?

For what reason are your attending the matches, do you work for any betting company or following any talents in Albania?

Haha, yes, still breathing...

I attended a match against Bylis. The trip was quite of a adventure actually. I hitchhiked from Bar, via Ulcinj, and finally to Shkodra. Lots of problems in the city, no one speaks English, no exchange office, and most important, nobody knew where is Reshit Rusi playground! If you didn't marked the palce on Google Maps, I would not find it in a million years. The girl on Hotel Tradita reception helped me by providing a map, and I remembered that the stadium was near some cemetery, so it was the only guideline that I was led by. Luckily, I managed to arrive just half an hour before kick-off.

Yes, I work for betting company, and was not too happy for position on east side, the sun killed my eyes. Had luck with entering, police is illiterate, like everywhere, and looked confused when I showed them my Serbian press I.D. Probably thought I was from UEFA, something like that... Also, a lot of Montenegrians in central box, mostly managers. Tryed to recruited me for cheating in the broadcast of the match.

After the match tried to find bus station, but later realized that it doesn't exist. Visited Loro Borici, stadiums are my big passion, and headed toward bridge on city exit with a plan to hitchhike back. But, half way there incredible situation, some bus was parked with engine running, waiting for boss to buy cigars, headed for Italy. Off course, no English knowledge whatsoever, but we managed to get a deal, they picked me up, and drove all the way to Bar, where I had a train for Serbia. They refused to take money from me!

Unfortunately, I was not able to visit anything sights in Shkodra, didn't have the time to take not one picture! As the biggest flaws consider dirty streets and tidiness. Don't get me wrong, but Serbia is much more urban. Cultural differences are evident at every step. I barely find a market where I bought beer and a chocolate bar that I did not have to worry that I'll earn a disease.

On the other hand, people are warm and welcome, polite hosts, helped me as they could, and it is not expensive.

Anyway, it is certan that I will come again on Cup match against Skenderbeu. I hope that my company will confirm me the League match witch is playing against same team just three days before, so I could stay in Shkodra for a few days and get to know it better.

The Reshit Rusi stadium is known with old name "Fusha e Lekurave" - Leather Fields in english, and this maybe was the reason why some people don't know it

Anyway, as I recommended you before maybe you can come to Shkoder from Podgorica, there are some bus that go from Shkoder to Podgorica and vice-versa.

The bus station from the stadium to the center of Shkoder is 10 minutes away from the stadium, but you can take a taxi with cheap price (about 5 euro).

The next match is Vllaznia - Skenderbeu on 23th January for Albania Cup.
I hope that you can have time to enjoy other places, like Rozafa Castle, and the center of Shkodra

P.S. A lot of people speak Italian very well, but only some younger people speak english
