History

The history of Auda started in the 1960s when in the lower divisions of Latvian championships appeared the football team of the kolhoz '9. maijs. This team played its matches in Vecmīlgrāvis in the stadium now called in the name of former Latvia national football team captain Alberts Šeibelis. The club played in lower divisions of Latvian football, its only seasons in the top league came in 1986-1987 but those also didn't bring goo results.

In the late 1980s the name of the kolhoz was changed to Auda, the name of the football team was also changed. In 1991 under the management of Valerijs Leitāns and Juris Docenko Auda made a debut in the top division of Latvian championships. In a competition among 20 teams Auda finished 15th. In the following season on the basis of Auda was resurrected the most popular Latvian football team RFK. Under this name the team which included many young players participated in 1. līga (second division of Latvian football). But results which would correspond to the name of RFK didn't come so in 1995 the team regained its former name of Auda. In 1996 Auda was a completely new team which played in the 2nd division. In 1997 the young Auda players won its second division zone and in the finals in two games lost to the second team of FK Valmiera. In the following season Auda played in the 1st division. After several years in this league Auda won the first place and a right to play in Virslīga. After several seasons in Virslīga Auda was relegated to the 1st division. On 15 October 2005 Auda played its first game in its new stadium in Ķekava. In 2007 FK Auda and FK Alberts united as FK Auda/Alberts. The main joint team plays in 1. līga as FK Auda but int the 2. līga plays FK Auda/Alberts, former FK Auda-2(farmclub), that has joined with FK Alberts and uses FK Auda second squad players and FK Alberts players.
