Career & Clubs
In 2001, the team was founded with the support of Daugavpils' businessman Vladislavs Drīksne, who was the owner of the eponymous Ditton company. After first entering the city league, in a few years Ditton managed to grow and ultimately win promotion to the Virslīga in 2003, although was instantly relegated in 2004. In the following 2005 Latvian First League season Ditton won promotion once again. In 2006, before entering the 2006 Virslīga, Russian businessman Igor Malyshkov became the main shareholder in the club. It was his decision to change the club's name to FC Daugava, taking inspiration from the historic club from Daugavpils and including the date of its founding in the club crest. Ukrainian manager Sergei Yuran was invited to join the team staff, but he was soon replaced by Sergei Kiriakov. That season the club achieved their highest position to that point, finishing 5th in the championship. Meanwhile, he also created a plan to develop the infrastructure of the club and build a new stadium - the Daugava Stadium near Daugavpils Fortress. Malishkov invited Sergei Petrenko, who was then famous for his success with Torpedo Moscow, to become the manager of the team. Petrenko left in May 2007 for family reasons. In June 2007 Igor Gamula was appointed, but he only started managing the team in August 2008. Till then the incumbent manager was Mihails Zemļinskis. On 19 July 2008 the Daugava Stadium was officially opened. That year the club won the Latvian Cup for the first time…
