FK Rīga was a Latvian football club based in Riga. They played in the Virsliga, the top division in Latvian football. They played their home games at Latvijas Universitates Stadions. In 1999, its first year of existence, the club won the Latvian Cup, beating Skonto FC at the final. The club also played in the UEFA Cup. In 2007 FK Rīga achieved its best result in Virsliga so far by finishing 3rd as the highest placed club from Riga.
FK Rīga played in the summer of 2008 in the UEFA Intertoto Cup. Their first round opponents were Fylkir from suburban Árbær (e. rivertown) eastern part of Reykjavik. In the second round they played Bohemian FC of Dublin and, as against Fylkir, the home leg was played in the city of Liepaja, approximately 217 kilometres from Riga.
At the end of the 2007/2008 season the club went bankrupt due to its financial problems and the football school, that was in the club's system, joined FK Olimps/ASK. Now it is called RFS/Olimps.
