«Lietava»
A fourth-place finish in the A Lyga in 2017 remains the high point in the top flight.
The name on the badge has changed more than once. The club that plays now was founded in 1991 as Azotas, though the line traces back to 1946 and a side called Spartakas. A 1994 merger with Achema produced Achema-Lietava, shortened two years later to Lietava, and the club did not take the name Jonava until 2017. The badge carries a swan.
The Lithuanian Cup has stayed out of reach; Jonava have never reached a final.
Home games are played at the Central Stadium of Jonava, a ground whose listed capacity varies by source — a Lithuanian Football Federation document from May 2024 puts it at 2,580. Regular opponents include Dainava, Kauno Žalgiris and Ekranas, though none carries the weight of a fixed rivalry.
