Why Lithuanian football market?

1. 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 (29 600 kids are regularly training football, LFF data, 2023).
3. Only factor „not enough football infrastructure“ didn‘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.
5. Low competition compare to Western Europe, if Investor wants to get a chance to get a right to play in UEFA Europe Cups. Clubs with from around 0,5 mln. Eur anual budget are winning right to play in UEFA Europe Cups during last 3 years (in 2023 season – FC Transinvest, having only near 450 000 eur anual budget).
6. 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 900 Eur per year in one football player development.
7. Low competition between football academies in majority part of Lithuania (except capital Vilnius area) – a good possibility to attract the most talented youth football talents to own club structure, by offering right service quality.
