About us

FK Minija is a football club based in Kretinga, Lithuania, founded in 1962. The club’s golden era came in 1964, when it finished 3rd in the Lithuanian A Class and won the Lithuanian Football Cup. After Lithuania regained independence, Minija briefly played in the top division in 1993 before dropping to lower leagues. The club was re-established in 2017 and has been competing in the LFF First League since 2019.

In 2025, FK Minija was acquired by French footballer Moussa Dembélé. With growing potential, modernizing infrastructure, and investments in data analytics and youth development, the club is on a professional path with clear ambitions for the future.
