 There were no official lower tier football competitions held in Albania between 1937 and 1948 due primarily to events of World War II, meaning sports clubs in Albania ceased operations or at best were severely restricted in their activities.In 1945, the club's name was changed to 24 Maji Përmet by the Communist Party of Albania who had just taken control of the country, in order to mark the date of the communist congress held in the city in 1944.The club restarted its activities in 1949 when they competed in Group 8 of the Albanian First Division but did not progress past the first stage of the competition.
