2008 LFF Lyga

2008 LFF Lyga

The Lithuanian A Lyga 2008 is the 19th season of top-league football in Lithuania. The season started on March 29, 2008 and will end on November 16, 2008.

The league had to reduce its number of teams from ten to nine prior to this season due to lacking a team able to earn promotion (see below). Shortly before the start of the season, FC Vilnius withdrew from participating in the league because of unknown reasons, leaving the league with 8 competing teams.

Clubs

Promotion and relegation

Interas-AE Visaginas were relegated to the Lithuanian First League after finishing the 2007 season in last place with only 8 points. FK Šilutė were originally scheduled to play the 2nd placed team of the First League, Rodiklis Kaunas, in a relegation play-off, but Rodiklis declined promotion due to lacking financial capabilities.

First League champions Alytis Alytus also had to forfeit their place in this year's league because their ground was not suitable for top-tier football, so no team was promoted.
