FK Vėtra is a Lithuanian football team from the capital city of Vilnius. The team plays in the Lithuanian Premier division A Lyga. The club was founded in 1996 and was initially based in Rūdiškės, a settlement in Vilnius district, and moved in 2003 to Vilnius City with the purchase of its own stadium.

In 2004, Vėtra played in the Intertoto Cup and reached the 3rd round with 3 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss. Their results in the 2005 tournament were not as successful, being eliminated in the early stages by losing both first round matches to future finalists CFR Cluj. In 2006, Vėtra played Shelbourne F.C. of Dublin in the UEFA Intertoto Cup, but lost 0-1 at home, and 0-4 in Ireland.

In the 2007 Intertoto Cup, Vėtra's second round game with Legia Warsaw was called off when Legia fans rioted. The scoreline was 2-0 to Vėtra at the time, and on July 11th, UEFA decided to reward the tie 3-0 to Vėtra, and expel Legia from the competition. Vėtra lost to English side Blackburn Rovers in the third round. [http://www.uefa.com/competitions/intertotocup/news/kind=1/newsid=560167.html]
