Football Club Džiugas Telšiai, commonly known as Džiugas Telšiai, or simply as Džiugas, is a Lithuanian association football club based in Telšiai, that competes in the A Lyga, top tier of Lithuanian football.

History[]

On the 2 November 1923, sport association Džiugas was established in Telšiai. During the period between 1923–1946, the club had football, basketball, ice hockey teams and expanded to other sports of the city. In 1926, Džiugas merged with another sports club "Laimutė" and had 145 official club members. The first director of the board was S. Lukošius. On the 6 June 1927, the football team played their first game against the Lithuanian bicyclist union which finished 2:2. In 1935, 1936, and 1937, Džiugas became the champions of the Samogitia region. Other participants of the tournament were teams from Plungė, Skouodas, Tauragė and Mažeikiai. Džiugas played their first international game in 1938 against Latvian side "Olimpija" and won 2:1.

In 1946, Džiugas was attached to state-wide sports union "Žalgiris" and the team participated in lower Lithuanian SSR football divisions.

In 1992–1993 season Džiugas became the champions of the III league but in 1994, the team was dissolved and a new Telšai team "Mastis" was formed.

In 2014, the club was reestablished by the football community of Telšiai. In their first season in II lyga (3rd tier), the club won 2nd place and gained promotion to I lyga (2nd tier), and has been participating in it since.

Before the start of the 2019 season, head coach Vijūnas Vasiliauskas was replaced by retired club player Marius Šluta.[1] In 2019, Džiugas won the I Lyga,[2] and gained promotion to the A Lyga. However, the club failed to meet licensing criteria to the A Lyga, and remained in I Lyga for the 2020 season.

2020 Pirma lyga was very good in first stage, but in final stage team lost very important points and couldn`t take the winners position. They was in 4th position and can hope to be promoted to A Lyga.[3]
