However, the development of football in Lithuania like other branches of sport was interrupted by World War One. As it was over, Lithuania declared its independence in 1918. Lithuania started developing its physical culture and sport system on the basis of the experience of other countries. The Lithuanians, who had spread around the world, came back to Lithuania and became the biggest enthusiasts of the development of sport. They developed various branches of sport and sport games in Lithuania. Although the attitude of most Lithuanians towards sport was negative, the Section of Shooters started functioning in spring 1919, the Lithuanian Union of Sport was established and the first public performances of sportspeople took place (History of Lithuanian Physical Culture and Sport, 1996). Goal – to analyze the development of football in Lithuania from the fountainheads to the participation of the Lithuanian selection in the Olympic Games of Paris. 7 Fountainheads of football People started playing football in Lithuania in the beginning of the XX century. V. Petrauskas established the sport association “Aras“ in 1907. „We wrote the statute of a sport organization from Mintauja, edited it for the adaptation of the life conditions in Kaunas and submitted to Governor Veriovkin for the approval (...) the first sport organization, which was accessible to everybody, rose in Kaunas with big difficulties“ (Petrauskas, 1933). The organization united 258 members and cultivated weightlifting, track-and-field athletics, wrestling, gymnastics and football. It organized two football teams in Kaunas: Geltonasis Erelis and Mėlynasis Erelis (Poviliūnas, 2010). V. Petrauskas wrote about the rise of football in his memories (1933): “We played sports successfully and attained 1911 when football developed in all big cities briskly. We also organized two teams: yellow and blue ones. The participants trained intensely. In the middle of July 1911 we became brave and invited the players from Vilnius to Kaunas. The first public match was impressive: a large crowd gathered and had a very negative influence on our players. The men were unused to showing themselves in public, chafed, distressed and were even more unsuccessful. We lost to the players from Vilnius 10:5“ (Petrauskas, 1933). 3 clubs – „Sakalas“, „Antakalnis“ and „Žvėrynas“ played football in Vilnius at that time. Vilnius Football League was established on the initiative of A. A. Konas, chairman of the association “Sakalas”. Soon “In 1913 the Germans organized an Olympiad in the East-Prussian region and invited the football team from Kaunas. There were a few thousands of spectators. The match resulted in 2:2, but one goal was uncounted for the Lithuanians...“ (Petronis, 1933). The development of football in Lithuania was interrupted by World War One. In spite of a complicated political and economic situation in Lithuania after World War One, football revived again in 1919. However, the years 1919, 1920 were still an epoch of random matches. There was no special place for doing sports or playing football and according to S. Garbačiauskas „Football and track-and- field athletics championships or even international football matches 8 were organized illegally, on a strange pasture (...) There was much trouble with carrying football goals and tools from Vytautas Park, setting them and bringing back to the park after matches (...) Sometimes there were matches on Saturdays and Sundays. Nobody wanted to bring the goals back to Vytautas Park after the Saturday event and they were left in the Oak-Wood on the meadow. There were no goals on Sunday; they may have been stolen by the pasture lessees and used for fuel“. (Narbutas, 88). Moreover, “when playing football, there were difficulties both with a lack of playgrounds and money” (Narbutas, 115). The first football match was played in 1919. The team of the Lithuanian Union of Sport (LSS) (the first sport organization of the independent Lithuania established in Kaunas in May 1919) and the team of the aviation officers met in Vytautas Park. LSS won the match 4:2. There were also a few matches in 1920. In relation with an instable political situation, there were more matches in 1921 and 1922. Even several tens of matches were organized in 1921. The truth is that the participating teams were weak both their composition and education. The number of teams with different names increased in 1921: civil officers, schools, clubs and unions. However, all these teams did not have any interrelations, played each separately and had even several matches against each other. Matches were not organized in 1921, no championships were organized and the matches were just actual. LFLS and the International team can be noticed among all these matches (or the team of diplomats). The team of diplomats consisted of: R. Lasič (Serbian), Palmquist (Finnish), Sala (Italian), V.D.Leoff
