Kilo has become the largest shareholder of FK Žalgiris, acquiring a 42% stake in the club through a €1 million investment. As part of the updated structure, the total number of club shares has increased from 14 to 24. Kilo acquired 10 new shares, while an additional 5 shares were purchased by Tadas Burgaila, Co-Founder and Board Chairman of Kilo, through his company Lost Astronaut.
This partnership marks the beginning of a long-term effort to help the club grow into a financially sustainable and internationally competitive organization, while strengthening its academy and team infrastructure. Žalgiris is planning a €4 million budget for next season, reflecting its ambition to grow both on and off the field.
Kilo will contribute its experience in technology, marketing, innovation, and digital operations to support the club’s broader development. Sporting decisions will remain fully within the remit of Žalgiris’ existing management, while Kilo’s wellness products and tools will be available to help players maintain their health and performance.
According to T. Burgaila, the new partnership brings Kilo’s global know-how together with the ambitions of a leading football club in Lithuania.
“Our investment marks a new chapter and a closer link between wellness, sport, and technology. The goal is to help Žalgiris become a strong, self-sustaining organization that can reinvest in its team and infrastructure. We believe we can build a modern football club of which supporters in Lithuania and across Europe can be proud.”
