FK Ogre was a Latvian football club from Ogre, Ogre Municipality. Founded in 2011, the team played its home games in Ogre Stadium, which had been unveiled in 1968.[1]
Initially, they played in the Latvian Second League Riga Division (Zone), before being promoted in 2013. From 2014 the team 2017 played in the second-highest division of Latvian football (the Latvian First League) and the Latvian Football Cup (reaching the quarterfinals).[2]
On 14 July 2017 the Latvian Football Federation Disciplinary Commission announced that the federation excluded two teams from the First League (FK Jēkabpils/JSC and FK Ogre), and one from the Second League team (FC Raita Riga), for an indefinite period for suspicious activity related to match fixing. Five individuals – FK Ogre head coach head coach Igors Troickis and well as four players: Aleksejs Kuplovs-Oginskis, Deniss Sokoļskis, Oļegs Peņkovskis and Sergejs Lebedevs – received 36-month-long footballing bans.[3]
The club did not recover from the ban and the Association "Ogre Football Club" was dissolved on 27 December 2018.[4]
An unrelated club, FK Fortūna Ogre (founded in 1991), used the same name during the 1997–198 Latvian Second League season, earning promotion.[5][6]
