AS Himara (Himara Sports Academy) was established in 2022 by Tirana-based NGO "The Center for Integration and Development (QZHI)" as a professional football club with a new branding, including its own logo and a dedicated professional staff. The academy's mission is to elevate the game of football as a central platform for the engagement of local youth, while also serving as a vital part of the cultural and sporting life of Himarë's community.[2]
