The Lithuania national football team (Lithuanian: Lietuvos nacionalin? futbolo rinktin?) is under the auspices of the Lithuanian Football Federation. It played its first match in 1923. In 1940, Lithuania was incorporated in the Soviet Union; the country regained its independence in 1990 and played their first match as a new nation against Georgia on 27 May of that year. Although Lithuania has never qualified for the FIFA World Cup, nor the UEFA European Championship, it has successfully participated in the local sub-regional Baltic Cup tournament, which takes place every two years between Lithuania and its Baltic rivals, Latvia and Estonia. Lithuania has won the Baltic Cup championship 11 times, only Latvia has more. Despite this Lithuania holds the record for winning the most consecutive Baltic Cup championships, four titles in a row from 1996 till 2000. Since 2012 the team has played its home matches at the LFF Stadium, Vilnius.
