Klubi i Futbollit Shkodra was established on September 25, 1996, by Taip Piraniqi, a former player and manager of Vllaznia Shkodër.[2] As the second football team in the city, KF Shkodra focused on developing youth talents by creating a structured system for players aged 7 to 19.[3]
With six dedicated coaches and Piraniqi’s active oversight, the club became a cornerstone for developing high-caliber players, including Albania internationals Elseid Hysaj and Armando Vajushi.[4] Over its 21-year history, some of the talents that have emerged from the club’s ranks include: Arsid Kruja, Antonio Marku, Sindri Guri, Rubin Xhepaj, Ervin Rexha, Marçelino Preka, Donati Toma, Rejan Alivoda and Elis Kabuni.[5]
In celebration of its 25th anniversary on November 9, 2021, the club adopted the slogan “You’ll Never Walk Alone.” In February 2022, its U-10 team secured a second-place finish at the international "Mimoza Polino Cup", held in Montenegro, narrowly losing 1–2 in the final.[6]
Since August 2022, the club has embarked on a strategic collaboration with Vllaznia Shkodër to further advance youth development in the region.[7]
In 2025, KF Shkodra's senior team returned to professional football and started playing in the Kategoria e Tretë for the 2025–26 season.[8]
