JFK Olimps was a Latvian football club, playing in the top division of Latvian football. The club was from the city of Riga. According to a study from January 2011, the club was the youngest team in Europe, with an average age of 19.02 years.[1]
Olimps was founded in 2005 because there were only seven teams in the top division of the Latvian football league. It was made up of young (U-21) players from Skonto-2, Liepājas Metalurgs-2 and Ventspils-2. In the 2005 season, they dropped from Virslīga. In 2006, they won 1. līga and returned to Virslīga. Despite finishing last in the 2007 Virslīga season, Olimps retained their place for 2008 thanks to the expansion of the league.
In 2007, Olimps got to the Latvian Cup final thus earning a place in the UEFA cup qualifiers for the upcoming season.
However, by 2009, due to the impact of Latvian financial crisis, the ministry dropped its funding. The team was dissolved in 2012, although legally the club still exists.[2]
