In 2017 Lithuanian Football Federation (LFF) created and confirmed national Football development strategy “Grow2020”, main idea of it was to make football the most popular kind of sport in Lithuania before 2020.
2. Football already is the most popular kind of sport between Lithuanian kids (22 600 kids are regulary training football, LFF data, 2021).
3. Only factor „not enough football infrastructure“ doesn’t let football to be the most popular kind of sport compare to basketball.
4. LFF strategically decided to concentrate UEFA and FIFA incomes support for Lithuanian football clubs, what has full – structure and preferably – strong relation with local municipality.

Why Lithuanian football market?

1. Low competition compare to Western Europe, if Investor wants to get a chance to get a right to play in Europe Cups. Clubs with from around 0,5 mln. Eur annual budget are winning right to play in Europe Cups during last 3 years.
2. Quite low investment in youth football talents development might be effective – in private football business sector we have numbers, what show’s it’s enough to invest only till 500 Eur per year in one football player development.
3. Low competition between football academies in majority part of Lithuania (except Vilnius) – a good possibility to attract the most talanted youth football talents to own club structure, by offering right service quality.
