About FA Šiauliai

FA Šiauliai is a Lithuanian football club based in the city of Šiauliai. It was founded in 2007 as the Football Academy of Šiauliai after the merger of local youth sports structures. The club was initially created as a development-focused academy, aiming to train young players, but over time it grew into a fully professional organization with senior men’s, women’s, and youth teams.

The men’s team gradually climbed through the Lithuanian football pyramid, starting from lower regional divisions and progressing step by step to higher leagues. After competing in II and I Lyga, the club earned promotion to the A Lyga in 2021, marking its debut in the top tier of Lithuanian football. Since then, FA Šiauliai has established itself as a stable mid-table team and has also participated in domestic cup competitions and European qualifiers.

In the modern era, FA Šiauliai is considered an important development club in Lithuania, known for combining youth training with competitive senior football. The club continues to build its reputation in the A Lyga, consistently finishing in the upper half of the table and occasionally competing for European qualification spots. Its structure also includes reserve and women’s teams, making it one of the more comprehensive football academies in the country.
