'''FK Be1''' is a Lithuanian professional football club based in Jonava. Before 2019, it was named '''FK NFA''', later – '''Be1 NFA''' and '''FK Be1'''.
==History== The National Football Academy of Lithuania (NFA, in Lithuanian ''Nacionalinė Futbolo Akademija'') was established in 2006.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://lff.lt/projektai/nacionaline-akademija/|title=Nacionalinė akademija – Lietuvos futbolo federacija|author=|date=|website=lff.lt|accessdate=13 December 2018}}</ref> In 2012, the academy founded a professional team under the name FK NFA. In the 2012 season, it played in the I Lyga, the second tier of the Lithuanian football system, and finished in 6th place. After the season, the NFA decided to voluntarily drop the club to the 3rd tier.
In 2013, the club competed in II Lyga. After the first half of the season, the club was in 3rd position. FK NFA withdrew mid-season and their license was taken over by FC Stumbras, who went on to reach the first place. In 2017, FK NFA was re-established in II Lyga, won the top spot and gained promotion to I Lyga. In the 2018 I Lyga season, the club reached the 10th position.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://lff.lt/news/5391/panevezys-iskovojo-lff-pirmos-lygos-titula/ |title="Panevėžys" iškovojo LFF Pirmos lygos titulą|author=|date=|website=LFF.lt|accessdate=2018-12-13}}</ref>
===Be1 NFA=== In 2019, the management of the academy was taken from LFF (Lithuanian Football Federation) over by the ''Kauno Futbolo Akademija'' (Be1SC) and the club was renamed to Be1 NFA. In 2021, a team was formed and played in II Lyga. On 15 June 2021, the club lost 0–6 against FC Džiugas Telšiai in the second round of the 2021 Lithuanian Football Cup and was knocked out of the competition.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.sportas.lt/naujiena/435073/zalgiris-ir-%20dziugas-uztikrintai-zenge-i-lff-taures-ketvirtfinali |title="Žalgiris" ir "Džiugas" užtikrintai žengė į LFF taurės ketvirtfinalį |date=2021-05-15 |language=lt |access-date=2023-11-27 |website=sportas.lt}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://lietuvosfutbolas.lt/rungtynes/be1-nfa-dziugas-10287685/|title = BE1 NFA - Džiugas - Lietuvos Futbolas}}</ref> At the end of the 2021 season, the club finished in second place and were promoted to I Lyga.
