History

The title was instituted by Decree No. 4259 on 11 April 1967, as part of Albania's system of state distinctions. It was awarded in a single class to professionals and volunteers who had distinguished themselves in physical education, particularly through their contribution to the younger generation. The award also recognized notable contributions to the development and organization of physical education and sport.
