Mario Morina (born 16 October 1992 in Tiranë) is an Albanian professional footballer who plays for Albanian club Kamza in Albanian First Division as a forward.
Morina made his début for KF Tirana on 3 November 2010 in an Albanian Cup fixture at home against Skrapari. Morina was included in the starting line up, with fellow youngsters Blerti Hajdari and Enco Malindi. Morina played a role in his side's 4–0 win, including an assist for Hajdari, striking the post and winning a penalty which would be converted by Hajdari. Tirana coach Nevil Dede praised the player after the game has ended and stated that the youngster was in his plans for the near future.
He would only have to wait until 20 November for his first league game, in a home game against Elbasani. Morina took the place of striker Sebino Plaku in the 71st minute when the score was 2–1 in favour of Tirana. In the 93rd minute of the game he marked his league début with a goal.
During 2011–12 season, despite the fact that he had rivalry in attack with Herby Fortunat and Mirel Çota, Morina was able to appear in 22 league matches, scoring four times, including the winners against KF Laçi and Flamurtari Vlorë respectively on 17 December 2011 and 18 March 2012. He was an unused substitute in team's victory in 2011 Albanian Supercup against Skënderbeu Korçë, in a match delayed and disrupted by crowd trouble. Morina was also an important instrument in 2011–12 Albanian Cup, playing 12 matches and scoring twice against KF Laçi and Kamza in Group 1 of quarter-finals, with Tirana who went to win the title for the second consecutive season, beating once again Skënderbeu in the final thanks to the winner of Bekim Balaj.
