The 1966–67 Albanian National Championship was the 29th season of the Albanian National Championship, the top professional league for association football clubs, since its establishment in 1930.

Overview

It was contested by 12 teams, and

Dinamo Tirana won the championship. This championship is not officially recognized by UEFA
.

Title of shame

It was 24 June 1967.

AFA
, Tirana and Partizani forfeit the match 0:3, are deducted 3 points each and will thereafter lose by default remaining matches!" "
[3][4] By forfeiting that match and losing the subsequent 3 remaining matches, Dinamo would automatically gain enough points to overtake Tirana and win the title. It was a disgrace for Albanian football, such that even UEFA still refrains to recognize the champions Dinamo for that year. The next season, because of the disqualification farce, Dinamo were denied entry to the European Cup by UEFA; their opponents, Braunschweig, received a walkover and eventually reached the quarter-finals
