The Case For Them

AF Elbasani are not a spare club. They are Europe UEFA Europa Conference League, Elbasan Arena, and 5 years of people deciding this was theirs, pick them and the season has a second spine.

Something to defend
The cabinet is not empty: Kategoria Superiore and Kategoria e Parë. Small enough to recite from memory, big enough to argue about in a pub.
Close to the pitch
Elbasan Arena holds about 12,800. You can hear the defenders shouting at each other, which is the single best argument for lower-capacity football.
You get a nickname
Known as Tigrat (The Tigers). That is your new shorthand, your search term and your excuse for buying a scarf.
Worth the journey
Nearest airport is Ohrid St. Paul the Apostle Airport (OHD), roughly 36km out. This is not a casual away day, which is precisely why the people who do it take it seriously.
