FK Sūduva is a Lithuanian professional football club based in the city of Marijampolė.

Founded in 1968, the club competes in the A Lyga, the top flight of Lithuanian football.

It is not so easy to trace its history, as in Soviet times it often changed names with every new owner that supported it.

The biggest achievement of the club during Soviet times came in 1975 when Sūduva reached 3rd place at the local top division.

But the most important thing was that it also got new owners who were determined to create a normally functioning and financially predictable club.

The semi-professional team vanquished Brann from Norway during its first European match (3–2 both away and at home) and went to Glasgow to meet Celtic.

This match was not so successful (actually, the result is still featured in the statistics of Celtic as one of the biggest victories in Europe).

Three more seasons at the middle of the table and the team reached 3rd place – 30 years after the achievement of the same caliber.

Repeating that history, the club reached the finals of the National Cup the following year.

Since that year Sūduva have been one of the most stable clubs of the country – both financially and on the league table.

It went to play European cups every year receiving teams like Rapid, Red Bull and Club Brugge.

It was clear that the team would need a lot of effort and luck if it wanted to get its traditional silver or bronze.

At the beginning of the 2016 season, Sūduva recalled former team players Marius Činikas and Martynas Matuzas.

Multiple A Lyga champions Algis Jankauskas, Andro Švrljuga and Paulius Janušauskas were signed as well.

In the first round, Sūduva advanced over APOEL FC by scoring 3 consecutive goals in the first 18 minutes of play.

They won against FK Spartaks Jūrmala in 3Q, but lost to Celtic Glasgow in the play-off stage.
