RFS and 'Riga' dominate Latvian Virsliga as others struggle to keep up
While the world watches the World Cup in the USA, the Latvian Virsliga continues with the 19th round, where RFS and 'Riga' once again proved their superiority over the rest of the league.
Football in Latvia may not be on par with the World Cup spectacle in the United States, but the local Virsliga is still going strong. The recently played 19th round once again highlighted that the league has two clear frontrunners – RFS and 'Riga' – while the rest of the teams are left chasing.
Although television broadcasts from North America show a completely different level of football, Latvian fans can still enjoy what their domestic league has to offer. This week's matches reaffirmed that RFS and 'Riga' have built a significant lead over their rivals.
Sports commentators note that the Virsliga currently has a clear hierarchy – the two Riga-based clubs are a step ahead of everyone else and will likely battle for the championship. Other teams are left fighting for positions in the middle of the table.
Notably, despite the ongoing World Cup, the Latvian championship continues as scheduled, giving local fans a chance to follow their favorite teams' performances.
