1922

His second goal came just three months later during the same qualifying tournament against Switzerland in the 22nd minute of a thrilling 3–2 loss.

1975

Altin Dodë Lala (born 18 November 1975) is an Albanian former professional footballer, who played as a defensive midfielder, and former manager.

He spent his entire playing career in Germany and represented the Albania national team.

1991

He travelled to Germany at the age of 15 with the Albanian U-16 side in 1991, where they were staying at their training camp near the Port of Hamburg.

However, Lala along with many of his teammates decided against returning to Albania and instead he sought asylum in Germany.

He eventually settled at a refugee camp in Fulda, where he joined local side Borussia Fulda's youth team.

As he could not speak anything other than Albanian, he relied on hand signals to communicate with the players and coaches, but after two years in the youth team he was promoted to the senior side.

1993

After the first team of Borussia Fulda was promoted to the third tier Oberliga Hessen, Lala was often as an unused substitute during the second half of the 1993–94 season playing two matches.

In the next season, the Oberliga Hessen was moved to the fourth tier of German football.

Lala managed to play eight matches.

1995

He managed to establish himself in the first team for the 1995–96 season to play 24 games and to score his first and only goal in the whole season.

Borussia Fulda reachted the first place in the table which meant promotion to the Regionalliga Süd in the next season.

1998

He has also enjoyed a long international career, making 79 appearances for his country since 1998, the second highest in Albania's international history, being overtaken only by Lorik Cana in 2014.

He debuted for Albania in January 1998 during a friendly match and then participated in the friendly tournament 2000 Rothmans, helping his team to win the tournament.

He participated in overall seven qualifying tournaments of both UEFA European Championship and FIFA World Cup.

He also scored three goals for his country.

On 21 July 1998, Lala joined newly promoted 2. Bundesliga team Hannover 96; making his debut on 30 July 1998, in a 1–0 victory over Karlsruher SC.

He debuted with Albania senior team under coach Astrit Hafizi on 21 January 1998 in a friendly against Turkey as a half-time substitute for Përparim Daiu; in Lala's presence on the pitch during the second-half, Albania managed to score three times to take an away 1–4 victory at İzmir Atatürk Stadium.

Right after his debut he went on to participate in the 1998 Rothmans International Tournament in next month.

He was ever-present in the whole tournament under coach Hafizi and Albania took two draws against hosts Malta (1–1) and Latvia (2–2) and lost to Georgia to end the tournament in the third place.

2004

In 2004, he became team captain and remained so until the 2007–08 season, being popular both within the team and with fans (who have nicknamed him "The Battle Dwarf" (German: Kampfzwerg) due to his combative style of play).

2007

Lala took over the captaincy of Albania national team in 2007, ever since Igli Tare was no longer capped by former manager Otto Baric during the UEFA Euro 2008 qualifying.

In the 2007–08 season, he made 28 league appearances without scoring a goal.

2008

Lala did not make a great start to the 2008–09 season, he only managed to start in five of the opening games and to come on as a substitute in some of the other games.

Hannover 96 did not make a good start either as they only managed ten wins this season.

2010

He led his team as a captain in the next qualifying tournaments of the 2010 FIFA World Cup and the UEFA Euro 2012 until 2011 before announcing his retirement from international football.

Lala was born in the capital of Albania, Tirana, to Dodë and Pashke Lala who are both originally from Pukë.

He grew up in the Tirana e Re neighbourhood of the capital with his parents, brother and sister, where he played football on the streets like most of the children in the area.

His father wanted him to focus on his education ahead of sport, but eventually did sign up Lala to local side Dinamo Tirana.

2011

After 181 Bundesliga matches for 96 his career in the German top-flight ended with the 2011–12 season.

2012

Lala made three appearances for Bayern's reserve team before being forced to retire due to injury in October 2012.

2014

Lala recorded 79 appearances for Albania national team and is currently the second highest in Albania's international history, being overtaken only by Lorik Cana in 2014.
