Riga FC
Riga Football Club, commonly referred to as Riga FC, is a Latvian football club, founded in 2014. The club is based at the Skonto Stadium in Riga. Since 2016, the club has been playing in the Virslīga, the highest tier of the Latvian football league system.
The club was officially registered in April 2014. The team was established before the 2015 season after a merger of two Riga based teams – FC Caramba and Dinamo Rīga.
In the 2015 season, under the name FC Caramba/Dinamo, the team played in the Latvian First League by using the licence received by FC Caramba, an unrelated team founded by future FK RFS co-founder Maksims Krivuņecs, which had won promotion to the 1. līga after winning the Latvian Second League in 2014. After winning the 2015 First League and earning promotion to the Higher League, the club changed its name to Riga FC. However, for most of 2015, the legal name of the team was 'Riga Dinamo Football Club'. A club named Dinamo Riga played in 1940 and 1945–1960.
In 2017, Riga FC acquired the Šitiks Football Academy (Šitika FA), founded in 1999 by Genādijs Šitiks, and operates it as one of its youth academies, Riga FC Academy.
In 2018, the Ukrainian Viktor Skrypnyk was appointed as coach. He managed to lead the club to two Latvian Higher Leagues in 2018, 2019 and the Latvian Football Cup in 2018.
