FK RFS
FK RFS (also FC RFS) is a professional Latvian football club based in Riga. The club competes in the Virslīga, the top tier of Latvian football. It has existed in its current form since 2016, with predecessors dating back to 2005.
The team traditionally wears a blue home kit and a white away kit. After almost six years at Jānis Skredelis Stadium, RFS moved its home matches to LNK Sporta Parks in 2022.
RFS has won the Latvian championship three times (2021, 2023, 2024) and the Latvian Cup three times (2019, 2021, 2024). In 2022, the club was named Best Sports Club in Riga. That year, RFS became only the second Latvian club to qualify for the group stage of a European competition, following FK Ventspils in 2009–10, after defeating Linfield in the UEFA Europa Conference League play-off. In January 2025, RFS recorded the first-ever victory by a Latvian club in a UEFA Europa League group stage, defeating Ajax in the Europa League.
Until 2003, the nucleus of the future club was a youth team of players born in 1990–91 under JFK Skonto, the academy of FK Skonto, coached by Vladimirs Beļajevs. In 2003 Beļajevs and his players left to form Futbola sporta skola Daugava (FSK Daugava).
On 19 May 2005, the semi-professional club FSK Daugava 90 was established, built around players born 1989–99. The team entered the Latvian First League in 2007 and was renamed FK Daugava the following year. After winning promotion in 2008, they were relegated from the Virslīga in 2009.
Between 2009 and 2011 the club operated as Rīgas futbola skola (not connected with the Riga Football School academy founded in 1962). The current legal entity, biedrība FC RFS, was registered on 9 September 2009.
Rīgas futbola skola placed third in the 1. līga in 2015, just missing promotion. In 2016, following the revocation of Skonto FC’s licence, the Latvian Football Federation awarded its spot to the club, which rebranded as RFS and returned to the Virslīga.
With limited preparation time, RFS recruited experienced players, including Ritus Krjauklis and Aleksejs Višņakovs. The club finished sixth in 2016, narrowly above the relegation play-off. Managerial changes led to Jurijs Ševļakovs taking charge.
