History

Šilas was founded in 1940 as FK Ąžuolas. The club has been renamed several times in the following years.

In 2016 Šilas won I Lyga and hoped for promotion to A Lyga, but after a match fixing scandal were relegated to II Lyga. The club was officially declared entering administration, and therefore were not allowed to play in A Lyga or I Lyga.[3] As FK Šilas lost place in A Lyga, FK Kauno Žalgiris got saved from the relegation to I Lyga.[4]

The club finished in 10th position in II lyga in 2017, but recovered the next year and became one of the leaders of the II Lyga. In 2020 Šilas won II Lyga Southern zone championship and was promoted to 2021 I Lyga. Šilas successfully obtained 2021 I Lyga licence and reached the third place same season.

In 2022, after disputes over funding with Kazlų Rūda city council, FK Šilas struck a deal with Marijampolė City, and moved to Marijampolė.
