FK RFS is a professional Latvian football club based in Riga, Latvia. It competes in the Virslīga, the top flight of Latvian football. RFS were promoted to the Virsliga for 2016 when Skonto FC failed to obtain a license. In 2018, RFS qualified for the UEFA Europa League qualifiers for the first time. In 2019, the club achieved its first-ever honour, the Latvian Cup. It wasn't until 2021–22 that RFS won a European two-legged tie, beating Faroese club KÍ Klaksvík. They went on to beat Hungarian side Puskás Akadémia FC before losing to Belgian club Gent. Later that year, RFS won their first Virsliga and would thus compete in the 2022–23 UEFA Champions League qualifying rounds. They lost to HJK Helsinki in the first qualifying round but were given a bye to the third qualifying round of 2022–23 UEFA Europa Conference League. There, they progressed against Maltese champions Hibernians, and in the playoff round, beat Northern Ireland's Linfield on penalties to become only the second Latvian club to reach the group stages of a European competition, after FK Ventspils which qualified for the 2009–10 UEFA Europa League group stage.
