History
The club was founded at the beginning of 2009 by Hegelmann Transporte, a German-owned freight forwarding and logistics company. In January 2022 the club changed its logo and official name to Football Club Hegelmann from Football Club Hegelmann Litauen.[1] Hegelmann refers to the family name of Anton Hegelmann and Litauen means Lithuania in German.
After promotion from II Lyga in 2018, the club took 7th place in 2019 LFF I Lyga. Despite this fact, the club lodged an application to play in A Lyga in 2020. The club later withdrew the application. But in 2021, when A Lyga increased to ten teams the second-placed club in I Lyga got promoted.
After the 2022 A Lyga season Hegelmann Club was 4th and qualified for the Europa Conference League (first qualifying round).
