FC BE1 is a Lithuanian professional football club based in Kaunas, competing in I Lyga — the second tier of national football. Founded as the National Football Academy of Lithuania, the club is built around one purpose: developing players who are competitive both nationally and internationally, distinguished not only by technical ability but by strong personal character.
BE1 IFA is the international arm of that structure — a selective 10-month residential programme for players seeking a real European professional environment. Every player trains inside a professional club, registers as a FIFA Pro, and develops under UEFA-qualified coaches at the LFF Kaunas National Teams Centre.
To build a positive image of football in Lithuania and a clear pathway from youth development through to senior professional football.
To become an internationally recognised brand whose players graduate into national teams and high-level European clubs and academies.
Equal weight on performance and character. We develop the complete professional — technically sharp, physically prepared, and strong in personality.
Every session led by licensed professionals.
Compete as a registered professional, not an amateur.
A real competitive schedule, week in and week out.
On the pitch, in the gym, and off the field.

Talented players seeking a real European professional environment — not a training camp. Access is by selection only, and places are limited.
It's a full 10-month residential season. Players live, train, compete and recover inside the club structure for the whole cycle.
At the LFF Kaunas National Teams Centre in Kaunas — the same infrastructure used by Lithuania's national team programmes. Rooms accommodate two players, each with an integrated bathroom.
Based on performance, players can feature for BE1's first team in I Lyga, be loaned to other I Lyga clubs for regular minutes, or play in II Lyga where game time is often more accessible. IFA players also compete in a weekly schedule of friendlies, internal games and showcase matches.
We handle the professional contract, visa documentation (prepared by a qualified lawyer), invitation and guarantee letters, medical insurance, arrival coordination and full onboarding to city and club life. The legal and administrative groundwork is done before you arrive.
Footclub is a dynamic football training academy and sports club.
