Lithuania's representatives Aivaras Nekliuda and Justas Butkevičius demonstrated a high level of skill at the FIFA "Football Manager" World Championship and fought hard for a place in the final four.

Although securing second place in the group stage did not allow them to continue competing for the championship title, the national team returned from the championship with a cash prize of 3200 euros and strengthened Lithuania's name in the international esports arena.

On December 16, representatives of the Lithuanian Football Federation met with members of the national team to congratulate them on their achievements and thank them for their professionalism and dedication. The performance of the team members inspired the Lithuanian football and esports community and showed that the country's representatives are competitive on the global stage.

Aivaras Nekliuda and Justas Butkevičius expressed their joy at having the opportunity to represent Lithuania and gain invaluable experience. While they acknowledge that not advancing to the next stage was painful, both players emphasized that this championship provided many valuable lessons and motivation for future endeavors.

The Lithuanian Football Federation will continue its efforts to promote the development of esports and aim for even better results in international tournaments.
