Three Latvian clubs took part in the third qualifying round of the UEFA Conference League, but only Riga managed to progress. The team beat Hungary's Győr on aggregate over two legs and will continue its European campaign.

Riga's next opponent will be decided in the play-off round, where the club will face the loser of the tie between Klaksvík of the Faroe Islands and Poland's Lech.

Auda and RFS eliminated

Unlike Riga, the other two Latvian clubs, RFS and Auda, were unsuccessful in their return matches, and both have now been eliminated from the Conference League.

As a result, out of the three Latvian representatives in this season's European cups, only one team remains in contention, with another qualifying test still ahead before reaching the tournament's main stage.
