"Rytas" is the representative team of the capital city, whose goal is to represent the city with honour in both national and European tournaments. The club aims to become an elite Lithuanian and foreign basketball team, known for its victories in domestic and foreign championships, the support of its fans and its packed arenas. The Capital Basketball Team is a kind of community, a social organisation that all Vilnius residents who love basketball and want to be part of it are invited to join. The club is part of the identity of Vilnius, with more than 50 years of ups and downs, and invites people not only to watch basketball, but also to live a healthy life and to be socially responsible.
