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]

gollark: For instance, you'll have to map out what all the nerve I/O does, without the benefit of being able to test things very fast on a computer. And you need a good understanding of random bodily processes to keep the nervous system extant.
