About FC Šiauliai

FC Šiauliai was a Lithuanian football club based in the city of Šiauliai. It was founded in 2004 as a reorganization of earlier local football structures and became the city’s main representative in professional football. The club played its home matches at the Savivaldybė Stadium and competed in yellow and black colours, quickly establishing itself in the national football system.

After joining the A Lyga, FC Šiauliai spent more than a decade in Lithuania’s top division. The team generally performed as a mid-table side, with its best results coming in the early 2010s, when it achieved several strong league finishes and reached the Lithuanian Cup final in 2013. The club also represented Lithuania in European competitions, although without major success against stronger continental opponents.

Despite some sporting achievements, FC Šiauliai struggled with financial instability in its later years. The situation worsened by 2015, leading to unpaid wages and organizational difficulties. In 2016, the club was dissolved and ceased to exist as a professional team. Its legacy was later continued indirectly through the football academy system in Šiauliai, which became the foundation for new clubs in the city.
