Although the World Cup has ended, this week promises to be eventful for Latvian football fans. Several Latvian clubs are still competing both in the domestic league and in European tournaments.

Before heading into international matches, the 23rd round of the Latvian top division, the Virslīga, took place. These games were played just ahead of the teams' European commitments.

This week, four Latvian clubs are playing their first matches of the second qualifying round of the UEFA Conference League. Already this evening, 'Riga' will face 'Vardar' from North Macedonia in Skopje. On Thursday, the other three Latvian teams – RFS, 'Auda', and 'Liepāja' – will play their respective matches.
