In the 2024 season, the "TOPsport A lyga" held the "Best Organization" elections, in which all championship clubs competed for places in the top three and the opportunity to share a prize fund of 5000 euros.

The clubs were evaluated based on the content and quality provided on social media, the increase in the number of followers, press releases, match day communication, fan engagement, the merchandise offered and the opportunities to purchase it, stadium attendance, team outfit design and uniqueness, as well as hospitality for fans on match days at the stadium.

The performance of the clubs was assessed by the leaders and employees of the Lithuanian Football Federation (LFF), "TOPsport A lyga," the Lithuanian Football Referees Association (LFTA), and Lithuanian football podcasts that pay close attention to the championship.

After counting the votes, the "Best Organization" laurels for 2024 were awarded to Vilnius "Žalgiris," while Gargždai "Banga" closely followed, securing the second place. Telšiai "Džiugas" finished in third position. Žalgiris scored 71 points, Gargždai scored 67, and "Džiugas" scored 39. The first place was awarded 10 points, the second 7, and the third 5.

The 2024 season featured many surprises and unpredictable match outcomes. Before the last round, less than half of the championship clubs knew their final positions, so the climax on the last day and the live changes on the tournament table were sure to intrigue the fans.

I am pleased with every club that participated in the championship, their work and efforts throughout the season, but it is probably not without reason that the top three selected by the commission stood out the most in the fan attendance category. Vilnius "Žalgiris" maintained its usual quality standard, and each time I visited Gargždai, I was amazed to see original and fan-engaging ideas by the field. The community of Telšiai "Džiugas" also deserves the highest compliments," stated the president of "TOPsport A lyga," Gintaras Staniulis.
