About LSB Rīga

LSB Rīga was a Latvian football club based in Riga, originally founded in 1891 as a general sports society and later developing a football section in the early 20th century. The club is considered one of the oldest sporting organisations in Latvia and initially focused on cycling before gradually expanding into football. Its football team became active around 1913–1915 and was among the early participants in organised football competitions in Riga.

After Latvia gained independence, LSB Rīga became part of the national football system and competed in the Latvian championship during the 1920s and early 1930s. The team was generally a mid-table side but managed to produce solid performances, including several respectable league finishes and participation in domestic cup competitions. It contributed to the early development of Latvian football during the interwar period and helped establish the competitive structure of the national league.

The club continued to operate until World War II, when many Latvian sports organisations were disrupted or dissolved due to political changes and occupations. In 1944, LSB Rīga ceased to exist, ending its long history as one of Riga’s oldest multi-sport clubs. Its legacy remains connected to the early foundations of organised football in Latvia and the development of sport in the capital.
