About LFLS Kaunas 2

LFLS Kaunas “dubleriai” (reserve team) were the second squad of LFLS Kaunas, one of the strongest Lithuanian football clubs during the interwar period. In the early years of Lithuanian football, reserve teams were sometimes allowed to compete in the same national championship structure, and LFLS II became a rare example of such a case. The team was formed to develop younger players and provide depth for the main squad.

The reserve side made a surprising impact in the very first Lithuanian championship season in 1922. Despite being a second team, LFLS Kaunas II managed to compete at the highest level and achieved an unexpected success by finishing in third place in the national league. This result made them the only known reserve team in interwar Lithuanian football to reach the podium in the top division.

After the 1922 season, the structure of Lithuanian football became more organized, and reserve teams were no longer part of the main championship in the same way. As a result, LFLS II disappeared from top-level competition. However, their achievement in 1922 remains a unique historical fact, highlighting the early and experimental nature of Lithuanian football development.
