They are the club with the most participations and matches, most wins, most points and experience in Europe among all other Albanian clubs. However, they have never been beyond the second round in any European club competition.

Tirana holds the record for the most ties won (11) along their road. Tirana is the team which were able to overturn the first leg negative result to their advantage in at least four occasions; worth to remember their great second legs wins against Hamrun Spartans, FC Bobruisk, Dinamo Tbilisi, ND Gorica; additionally good overturns against Apollon Limassol and Ferencvarosi TC. Even though at 11 attempts they have not passed more than one round, KF Tirana are the Albanian team which has won more ties in Europe throughout their long history. Another significant international result comes at Balkan Cup of season 1981 where they went on the final, but lost both matches against Beroe Stara Zagora.

Along their European road, KF Tirana has met many famous squads in Europe, such as: FC Bayern Munich, Standard Liege, AFC Ajax, Malmö FF, IFK Göteborg, Ferencvárosi TC, PFC CSKA Sofia, etc, and in many of such matches has given unforgettable performances.

Additionally, white and blues hold the all-time record for the highest IFFHS ranking of an Albanian football club, being ranked as high as 31st in the world in 1987, as result of success preceded 1986-87.[1] Therefore, each time KF Tirana participates in Europe, fan's expectations are great and positive. KF Tirana started competing for the first time in the European Cup 1965-66. Below are all matches played and up-to-date rankings.
