The 2008–09 season was Klubi i Futbollit Tirana's 70th competitive season, 70th consecutive season in the Kategoria Superiore and 88th year in existence as a football club.

Season overview

In October 2008, Tirana won the inaugural Taçi Oil Cup by beating then-FIFA Club World Cup winners Milan 2–1 with goals scored by Daniel Xhafaj and Muzaka.[1] Later on 10 December, manager Blaz Sliskovic was sacked by president Refik Halili after collecting only one win in the last seven league matches.[2] He was replaced by club legend Agustin Kola who led the team until May of the following year.[3]

Tirana won their 24th championship in history on 23 May 2009 by winning 2–1 at home against Vllaznia Shkodër in the final matchday.[4] In cup, the team reached the final once again, this time losing to Flamurtari Vlorë at Niko Dovana Stadium.[5] The leading figure of Tirana in this season was the striker Migen Memelli brought on loan from Sweden's GAIS,[6] who scored an impressive 22 league goals and won the Golden Boot for the first time in his career.[7] Memelli with Tirana also set the record for the fastest goal ever scored in the Kategoria Superiore when he netted inside 7 seconds in the 2–1 win at Flamurtari Vlorë on 5 April.[8]
