History

Soviet club (1944–1994)

Following the re-occupation of Baltic states after the World War II, a team was created in Daugavpils in 1944 under the name of FK Daugava. During the Soviet period it was mostly known under name of Celtnieks or Stroitel (Строитель in Russian, 'builder') and for a while as Ķīmiķis (Khimik, Химик, 'Chemist') after its sponsor - the Daugavpils Synthetic Fibre Mill ().

1990s

After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the club became bankrupt and participated in competitions fielding its football academy, BJSS Daugavpils. In 1992-1994 the team briefly played as Auseklis Daugavpils before folding. A team under the name of Vilan-D was its successor throughout 1995.

In 1996, FC Dinaburg was founded as a successor to Auseklis and Vilan-D.

Season 2006

Hibernian v Dinaburg

They qualified to play with Hibernian, of Scotland, in the second round of the 2006 Intertoto Cup after beating Havnar Bóltfelag, from the Faroe Islands, 2–1 on aggregate in the first round. They lost 8–0 on aggregate, losing 5–0 in Edinburgh and 3–0 in Daugavpils.

Season 2007

FC Dinaburg Daugavpils were eliminated from the Baltic League 2007 due to violation of Fair Play rules, but they once again qualified for the Intertoto Cup, where they started against Irish League team Cliftonville, but they lost 2–1 on aggregate, losing at home 1–0 after a 1–1 draw in Belfast.

Season 2009

They qualified to play JK Nõmme Kalju from Estonian Meistriliiga, Estonia, in the first round of the UEFA Europa League. They won 2–1 in Daugavpils, and drew 0–0 in Tallinn. In the second round they played Bnei Yehuda Tel Aviv F.C. In Israel they lost 4–0 and 1–0 in Daugavpils. Later that season, they were relegated from both leagues they participated in (Virsliga and The Baltic Football League) because of suspicions of match fixing and illegal betting.

FK Daugava Daugavpils took their place in Virsliga 2010, with all the players who had previously played for Dinaburg in their squad, except the ones who had joined new clubs during the transfer season.
