History
After FK Minija Kretinga went bankrupt at the end of 2016 season, the Kretinga football promoters formed a phoenix club at the beginning of 2017.
Football Club "Minija" joined II Lyga's Western Zone in 2017. In that season team took the third place.
In 2018, the football club was reorganized into Public Organisation "Futbolo klubas Minija". Minija finished the season top of the league, equal on points with FK Babrungas Plungė. When this happens, the teams play a "golden match" to determine the higher position in the table. Minija won the match and were declared the winners of II Lyga Western Zone.
In 2019 the club had successfully promoted to I Lyga,[1] and finished the season in 8th position.
On 21 April 2025, the club was bought by French footballer Moussa Dembélé.[2]
