FK Spartaks is an inactive Latvian football club that was based in Sloka, Jà «rmala. In 2012, they finished 3rd in the Latvian First League championship and after winning the play-offs against JFK Olimps were promoted to the Latvian Higher League. The club played its home matches at the Sloka Stadium with capacity of 2,500 people.
FK Spartaks Jà «rmala were founded at the start of 2007 as participants of the third tier of Latvian football, the 2. lëga. They won the Latvian Second League championship in the first year of their existence, and the next 4 seasons were spent in the Latvian First League.
In 2011, the club made its greatest leap since its foundation, managing to finish the season in the third position right behind Metta/Latvijas UniversitÃÂte and LiepÃÂjas Metalurgs-2. As reserve teams were not eligible to participate in the top tier championship, Spartaks were promoted via play-offs against JFK Olimps, which they won 4âÂÂ1 on aggregate. Since 2012 Spartaks Jà «rmala have been playing in the Latvian Higher League. Spartaks finished their first season in the Latvian top-tier football in the fifth position of the league table, remaining in a middle-table position in the following two seasons as well, placing 7th in 2013 and 6th in 2014, respectively.
FK Spartaks had an engagement with the Jà «rmala Swimming and Football School, the name of which was occasionally included in the name of the club (Jà «rmalas PeldÃÂà ¡anas un Futbola skola, JPFS) since 2012.
From 2012 to 2014 Spartaks Jà «rmala was one of two clubs representing the city in the Latvian Higher League and using the Sloka Stadium as their home-ground. After the relegation of FC Jà «rmala in 2014, Spartaks was the sole representative of the coastal city in Latvian top-tier football.
In the 2022 Latvian Higher League season, Spartaks Jà «rmala finished 8th, remaining in the Virslëga. However, on 30 January 2023 the club withdrew their application for the 2023 Latvian Higher League LFF A licence. Spartaks Jà «rmala applied for the LFF B licence for participation in the 2023 Optibet NÃÂkotnes lëga, but were refused due to not meeting financial requirements. Due to mounting financial difficulties, many players had already left the team, and it was reported that a last-ditch attempt to sell the club to ensure its survival had failed.
After this, the team folded and Spartaks Jà «rmala received a transfer ban in May 2023. Currently the club is inactive, but is still registered as a legal entity.
