In 1948 the Federata Shqiptare e Futbollit (Albanian Football Federation) decided
to employ a new formula for the championship, according to the 'western' calendar:
fall 1948-spring 1949; but on March 31st, 1949, the Federata Sportive Shqiptare
(Albanian Sports Federation) annulled the 1948-49 season under Soviet pressure.
After disassociating itself from all Soviet influences (December 3rd, 1961), Albania
started a fall/spring season from 1962/63 on.
