Interrupted Championship 1948-49

In 1948 the AFA decided to employ a new formula for the championship, according to the 'western' calendar. For the first time in history, Albania's championship style would be compared to that of Western European countries, from autumn 1948-spring 1949;[1] but on 31 March 1949, the Federata Sportive Shqiptare (Albanian Sports Federation) annulled the 1948-49 season under Soviet pressure.[2] After disassociating itself from all Soviet influences (3 December 1961), Albania started a fall/spring season from 1962/63 on.

NB: apart from the last round, the matches Korça vs Kavaja and Korça vs Shkodra were not played.

All the police (Dinamo) and trade union (Spartaku) clubs changed their name to simply the town name, apart from Partizani and Dinamo Tirana.
