Andi Lila (Albanian pronunciation: [ˈandi ˈlila]; born 12 February 1986) is an Albanian former professional footballer who played as a defensive midfielder. He was a versatile player, having spent his early career as a full-back.

Lila began his senior career at his hometown club Besa Kavajë before moving to Greek side Iraklis in the Super League Greece. He later returned to Besa Kavajë and went on to play for Tirana, winning the 2008–09 Albanian Superliga and 2010–11 Albanian Cup, and spent a significant period at Greek top-flight side PAS Giannina, including a brief loan spell at Italian Serie A side Parma. Lila made over 150 appearances in Greece's first division and ended his playing career at Tirana in 2020 due to injury.


Lila has represented Albania at under-17, under-19, under-21 and senior levels, earning 70 caps for the senior side from 2007 to 2017. He was part of the squad that qualified for UEFA Euro 2016, Albania's first appearance at a major tournament, and played in the historic 1–0 win against Romania in the group stage. Lila also featured in qualifying campaigns and key matches, including Albania's first-ever victory over Portugal in 2014 in the opening Euro 2016 qualifying, and was involved in the controversial 2014 incident in Belgrade against Serbia during the same competition.

Club career

Besa Kavajë

Lila started his career with his hometown club, Besa Kavajë, making his debut at age 16 in the 2002–03 Albanian Superliga season on 14 December 2002 against Teuta Durrës, coming on as a substitute at half-time in a 5–0 defeat.[1] He made 11 league appearances that season.[2]

Lila began his second season with Tirana on 15 July 2009 by making his European debut against Stabæk in the first leg of the 2009–10 UEFA Champions League first qualifying round.[17] He also started the return leg, as Tirana were eliminated following a 4–0 defeat, losing 5–1 on aggregate.[18] On 16 August 2009, Lila won his second trophy with Tirana, the 2009 Albanian Supercup, as the team defeated Flamurtari Vlorë 1–0.[19] In the opening match of the 2009–10 Albanian Superliga on 23 August 2009, Lila conceded a penalty and was sent off in the 31st minute as Tirana were defeated 3–1 by Flamurtari.[20] He made a total of 24 league appearances and scored one goal, as Tirana finished the season in third place.[3]

In the 2010–11 UEFA Europa League qualifying rounds in July 2010, Lila played every minute of the first two qualifying rounds, as Tirana advanced past Zalaegerszeg 1–0 after extra time in the first round, before being eliminated in the second round by Utrecht despite Lila scoring in the second leg, with a 5–1 aggregate defeat.[21] Lila began the 2011–12 Albanian Superliga season on 22 August 2011 by scoring the equalising goal in a 1–1 draw against Elbasani.[22] On 31 January 2011, he scored in a 2–1 away victory over Dinamo Tirana.[23] He made a total of 26 league appearances and scored six goals, as Tirana finished the season in fifth place.[3] On 23 May 2011, Lila featured in the 2011 Albanian Cup final, which Tirana won against Dinamo after a penalty shoot-out, securing the club’s qualification for European competition.[24]

PAS Giannina

Lila completed a transfer to Greek side PAS Giannina on 24 June 2011 by signing a three-year contract worth €200,000 plus bonuses.[25][26]

He was given squad number 3 and made his competitive debut on 27 August 2011 by starting in the goalless draw against Aris in the opening week of the 2011–12 Super League Greece.[27] In his first full season at the Ajax of Epirus, Lila made 21 league appearances as the team finished eighth in the championship. With eight yellow cards, he recorded the second-worst disciplinary record in the squad.[28]

Lila began his second season on 25 August 2012, playing in a 0–0 draw against Platanias at the Zosimades Stadium.[29] He made his first Greek Cup appearance on 29 November 2012 in a 1–0 win against Panserraikos in the first leg of third round.[30] His first goals for the club came on 8 December, when he scored the opener in a 2–0 away win against Kerkyra.[31] His second goal of the season followed on 24 January 2013 in the second leg of the Greek Cup against Fostiras, helping PAS Giannina secure a 3–2 victory and progress to the quarter-finals.[32][33] He finished the season with 35 appearances in all competitions, as PAS Giannina placed fifth in the league and were eliminated by Olympiacos in the Greek Cup quarter-finals, once again registering the second-worst disciplinary record within the team.[34]

On 12 July 2014, Lila confirmed that his contract with PAS Giannina had expired and that he was set to join Croatian side HNK Rijeka,[35] however, he later chose to remain at PAS Giannina, signing a new three-year contract with the club.[36]

Loan to Parma

On 28 December 2014, Lila joined Serie A side Parma on loan.[37] The transfer became official on 1 January 2015, when the transfer window reopened.[38] During his presentation, Lila described the move to Serie A as a dream come true.[39] On 12 January, Parma announced that the deal included an option to buy, amid the club’s ongoing financial difficulties.[40]

He made his debut on 14 January 2015 in the Coppa Italia match against Cagliari, but was forced off after 13 minutes due to a thigh injury.[41][42] In his first game back after returning from injury, Lila scored his first goal for Parma against Sassuolo on 15 March 2015; having played from the start, with the match ending as a 4–1 defeat for the Gialloblù.[43][44]

Return to PAS Giannina

After the end of his loan spell, Lila initially refused to return to PAS Giannina in an effort to secure another move to Serie A.[45] In August 2015, he trained with Skënderbeu Korçë to maintain fitness,[46] before rejoining PAS Giannina later that month and reclaiming his squad number 3.[47]

He made his 100th appearance in the Super League Greece on 24 January 2016, playing 70 minutes in a 2–0 away win against Atromitos.[48]

Lila made his European debut with PAS Giannina on 14 July 2016, starting in a 3–0 home win over Odds BK in the first leg of 2016–17 UEFA Europa League first qualifying round.[49] He also featured in the return leg, with PAS Giannina advancing after extra time.[50] The club’s European campaign ended in the second qualifying round against AZ Alkmaar, with Lila himself collecting 4 appearances.[51]

On 25 March 2017, Lila was involved in an incident during international duty, after being recorded making inappropriate remarks toward a Greek priest.[52] Following the incident, PAS Giannina reportedly considered terminating his contract.[53] Three days later, he issued a public apology, later meeting the priest in person to apologise and resolve the matter.[54][55] On 1 April, Lila was an unused substitute in the 1–1 home draw against Xanthi.[56] He returned to the starting lineup four days later, playing 64 minutes in a 3–0 away defeat to Veria.[57] Later that month, Lila scored his first goal of the season, opening the scoring in a 1–1 home draw against AEK Athens on matchday 30.[58] He concluded his sixth season with the club with 22 appearances in all competitions.[10]

On 21 July 2017, Lila signed a new contract with PAS Giannina, keeping him at the club until June 2020.[59][60] He made 21 league appearances during the 2017–18 Super League Greece season, as the club finished ninth.[3]

In the 2018–19 Super League Greece season, he made 19 appearances, and PAS Giannina relegated after finishing in 14th place.[3]

On 1 July 2019, Lila and PAS Giannina mutually agreed to terminate his contract, bringing an end to his eight-year spell with the club.[61]

Return to Tirana

On 27 August 2019, Lila returned to Tirana after ten years, signing a contract with the club for the 2019–20 season.[62] He did not make any appearances during the 2019–20 season, as he underwent leg surgery and the campaign was later interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic.[63]

In 2020, Lila announced his retirement from professional football following a serious injury that required two surgical operations. He later confirmed that the decision marked the definitive end of his playing career, describing it as a difficult choice due to his strong attachment to the sport. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he began writing his autobiography, Triumf, which was published in 2022 and reflects on his playing career and personal experiences in football.[64]

International career

Lila represented Albania at youth levels, including the U17, U19, and U21 teams.[2]

Lila was first called up to the Albania senior team in late 2007 by head coach Otto Barić while playing as a right back for Besa Kavajë in the Albanian Superliga.[65] He made his senior debut on 21 November 2007 in the closing UEFA Euro 2008 qualifying match against Romania in Bucharest, playing the full 90 minutes in a 6–1 defeat.[66] Following the result, Barić resigned as head coach shortly after the final whistle.[67]

The next manager, Arie Haan, included Lila in his first match in charge, a friendly against Poland on 27 May 2008.[68] Lila started the match and was substituted at half-time as Albania lost 1–0. He went on to make two further appearances under Haan.

Lila was a regular member of Albania's UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying campaign. He played the final 15 minutes of the opening Group I match against Portugal, which Albania won 1–0 at the Estádio Municipal,[69] the first ever win against "Seleção das Quinas".[70] Later in October 2014, Lila made his 50th international appearance in the match against Serbia; he played as a starter until 42nd minute where the match was postponed due to Serbian fans launching flares onto the pitch.[71] He along with other Albanian players were attacked by Serbian hooligans who came onto the pitch with chairs and other objects. Initially, UEFA awarded Serbia with a 3–0 win, but were deducted three points, leading both Serbia and Albania appeals to the Court of Arbitration for Sport,[72] who on 10 July 2015, awarded Albania with a 3–0 victory and Serbia were still deducted three points.[73] After winning 0–3 at Vazgen Sargsyan Republican Stadium against Armenia on 11 October 2015,[74] Albania's spot at UEFA Euro 2016 was confirmed as team finished second in Group I with 14 points.[75]

On 21 May 2016, Lila was named in Albania's preliminary 27-man squad for Euro 2016,[76] and subsequently in the final 23-man squad announced on 31 May.[77]

Lila was an unused substitute in the opening Group A match against Switzerland, which Albania lost 1–0.[78] He made his first European Championship appearance on 16 June against France, with Albania losing 2–0 after late goals.[79] Lila started the final group match against Romania, which Albania won 1–0, marking the country's first victory at a major international tournament.[80] It was Albania's first win over Romania since 1948.[81] Albania finished third in the group with three points and a goal difference of −2, and was ranked last among the third-placed teams, resulting in elimination from the tournament.[82]

Personal life

Lila is married to Ornela Lila. The couple became parents for the first time on 20 March 2015, when his wife gave birth to their son, Ayan.[83] On 16 July 2015, Lila was awarded the title of "Honorary Citizen of Kavaja" for his contribution to Albanian football and for protecting national symbols.[84] In an interview, Lila stated that his favourite club while growing up was Italian side Internazionale.[85] He is also a fan of the American heavy metal band Metallica and the English rock band The Beatles.[85]
