We are delighted to announce the official establishment of Riga United Football Club.
Our multi-national football team has joined the Latvian Amateur Football League (LAFL). The team could give Arsenal FC a good run for its money in terms of nationalities on its books with players from Latvia, Germany, England, Cameroon, Spain, Italy, Holland, Norway and Turkey to name just a few turning out for the side.
Building on the success of Riga Out-Theres football team the decision was made recently to establish Riga United FC, a name, which perfectly sums up the whole essence and ethos of the new club. A cosmopolitan football team made up from signings around the world, Riga Out There FC unites tourists and locals, ex-pats and Latvians, youth and 'experience' (old gits) all wanting to play the beautiful game!
Riga United FC made its debut in the Latvian Amateur Football League in May 2007. In doing so Riga United made Latvian football history by becoming the first truly multi-national team to ever compete in the Latvian Amateur League.
The RUFC club crest has been chosen to reflect the image of Latvia's beautiful capital, together with the idea of a united Riga. The clubs Latvian motto, "Vienoti Spelei" translates as "United for the game" and will be worn with pride on the clubs new strip, which was unveiled on April 20th, 2007.
