HistóriaBFC Daugavpils: From 2009 roots to a Virslīga mainstay at Celtnieks Stadium
BFC Daugavpils, the top-flight club from Latvia’s southeast, has been a Virslīga presence after rising through the system. Founded on 11 December 2009 under the name BFC Daugava, the club has established itself in the country’s elite division [1][3].The path up was marked by two second-tier titles: champions in 2013 and again in 2018, each time earning promotion to the top flight and setting the platform for sustained Virslīga campaigns [1][3].Home is Celtnieks Stadium in Daugavpils, where the side stages its league fixtures and continues to build its identity in front of the local crowd [1][2].The club also tasted Europe for the first time in July 2025, entering the UEFA Europa Conference League qualifiers and falling 3–4 on aggregate to Vllaznia in a tight first-round tie [1].
