Futbolo klubas Hegelmann, commonly known as Hegelmann, is a Lithuanian football club located in Kaunas. They play in the A Lyga, the first tier of Lithuanian football.
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. Hegelmann refers to the family name of Anton Hegelmann and Litauen means Lithuania in German.
