About FK Ekranas

FK Ekranas was a Lithuanian football club based in Panevėžys, founded in 1964. It originated as a team linked to a local electronics factory and became one of the main representatives of the city in football. During the Soviet period, the club competed in regional competitions and achieved notable success by winning the Lithuanian SSR championship in 1985.

After Lithuania regained independence in 1990, Ekranas became one of the leading clubs in the national league. It was among the founders of the A Lyga and enjoyed its greatest success in the 2000s and early 2010s, winning multiple league titles, including a dominant period with consecutive championships from 2008 to 2012. The club also won several Lithuanian Cups and Super Cups, establishing itself as one of the most successful teams in modern Lithuanian football.

Despite its success, the club faced serious financial problems in the mid-2010s. After the 2014 season, it failed to meet licensing requirements and was declared bankrupt, leading to its dissolution in 2015. A new club, FK Panevėžys, was later formed to represent the city, while FK Ekranas was eventually re-established in 2020 and now competes in lower divisions.
