Full nameFutbolo Klubas Visaginas

FK Visaginas (also previously Interas-AE) is a Lithuanian football team from Visaginas.

Before 2006, the club was fully amateur and many players of the team worked in an atomic plant.

Despite finishing in 8th place in the second division, the club was promoted to Lithuanian A Lyga 2007 season. All higher placed teams in the second division were either reserve teams or did not have stadiums suitable for top flight football. Interas then won a play-off match against Silute 4:3 on penalties to qualify for a spell in the top flight.

After promotion the club completely revamped its squad, mostly taking players on loan from FC Vilnius. But after a disastrous season the club failed to acquire A lyga license and was also denied participation in LFF I Lyga.
