About FK Banga Gargždai

FK Banga Gargždai is a Lithuanian football club based in the town of Gargždai. It was founded in 1966 and originally functioned as a local sports team connected to an industrial enterprise. Over time, the club became an established part of Lithuanian football and developed a reputation as a stable regional team. It plays its home matches at the Gargždai Stadium and is known for its orange club colours.

Throughout its history, Banga has mostly moved between divisions, experiencing both promotions and relegations. The club competed in the top Lithuanian league during different periods, especially after 1990, and has often been a mid-table side in the A Lyga. One of its stronger eras came in the late 2000s and early 2010s when it secured a stable place in the top division after returning from lower leagues.

In recent years, FK Banga has grown into a competitive A Lyga team and achieved its best modern result by finishing fourth in the 2020 season. The club also won its first major trophy, the Lithuanian Cup, in 2024, marking the most successful achievement in its history. Today, Banga is considered a solid and ambitious provincial club in Lithuanian football, regularly competing at the top level and in European qualifiers.
