History
The first sports club in the city of Sarandë was formed by Kristoforidh Harito, Ruhi Selfo and Nazar Sefo on 25 January 1936 as the Shoqeria Sportive Butrinti, which translates to the Butrint Sports Society. The name is taken from the Ancient Greek city of Buthrotum, which in Albanian is called Butrint. The current club was merely a continuation of the original Butrint Sports Society and it was formed on 2 March 1963 as Klubi Sportive Butrinti, which in English would be Butrint Sports Club. However, other sources including prominent football historian Giovanni Armillotta believe the club was formed in the mid-1940s as Butrinti Sarandë and they changed their name shortly after in 1949 to simply Sarandë for two years before being renamed Puna Sarandë by the ruling Party of Labour of Albania between 1951 and 1958. In 1958, the club reverted to its original name of Butrinti Sarandë. The club's rivals are Delvina.
