    Sportacentrs.com reports that Eduards Tīdenbergs and Aleksejs Grjaznovs have recovered the money owed to them by Serbian club Dubočica.

    LPFA supports the LFF but calls for a clearer definition of how “artificial loans” will be tackled

    LPFA supports the LFF initiative to ban loan-agreement clauses that prevent a player from facing the club that loaned him, and calls for clear rules on how the fight against “artificial loans” will be monitored in practice. LPFA board member Filips Sviridenko notes that such clauses can cost a player at least four high-level matches a season.

    The Varslavāns and Valmiera saga: the club that did not pay salaries will receive compensation

    Renārs Varslavāns joined Auda after terminating his contract with Valmiera, which had not obtained a licence. LPFA backed the player's right to change clubs, pointing to the club's unkept promises and late salary payments. The LFF Player Status and Transfer Commission awarded Valmiera compensation, but far less than the club had claimed.
