About FK Riteriai

FK Riteriai is a Lithuanian professional football club based in Vilnius. It was founded in 2005 under the name FK Trakai and originally functioned as a community-based project aimed at promoting youth football and physical activity. The club started in the lower tiers of Lithuanian football and gradually climbed through the league system through steady sporting development.

After progressing through the divisions, Riteriai reached the A Lyga, Lithuania’s top division, in 2014. In its early top-flight years, the club quickly established itself as a competitive side, achieving strong results and finishing near the top of the league, including runner-up positions in 2015 and 2016. During this period, it also reached domestic cup finals and regularly participated in European qualification rounds.

In 2019, the club moved from Trakai to Vilnius and adopted the name FK Riteriai, meaning “The Knights.” Since then, it has remained a consistent participant in Lithuania’s top division, though with more mixed sporting results compared to its peak years. The club continues to operate a youth academy and focuses on player development while competing in national and occasional European competitions.
