In June 2019, the club announced that it will disband its main team and withdraw from national and European tournaments due to "incompetence of the Latvian Football Federation (LFF)".[1] However, there had been reports of financial issues in the previous seasons, with the LFF stating that after the 2018-19 season the club was likely to be relegated due to long-time financial irregularities.[2]
