Team Info
Žalgiris Kaunas is a legendary basketball institution and a cornerstone of the Lietuvos Krepšinio Lyga (LKL). Based in the basketball-mad city of Kaunas, Lithuania, the team plays its home games at the iconic Žalgirio Arena, one of the largest arenas in the Baltics. Founded in 1944, the club's green-and-white colors are synonymous with Lithuanian national pride. The name "Žalgiris" commemorates the Battle of Grunwald, symbolizing struggle and victory. The team's peak era is deeply intertwined with the Soviet period, where they were a dominant force, famously challenging CSKA Moscow and winning the EuroLeague in 1999. The modern era has seen Žalgiris re-establish itself as a perennial EuroLeague participant and the dominant force in the LKL, winning numerous domestic championships. The fan base, known as the "Green Wolves," is among the most passionate in Europe, creating an electrifying and intimidating atmosphere. In short, Žalgiris is more than a club; it is the beating heart of Lithuanian basketball.
