Riga United FC Youth Academy

NO YOUTH ACADEMY TRAINING TODAY
Just a reminder that there are no youth sessions today because of tonight's league match with Liepaja

Congratulation to Riga United Reserve's who for the 2nd season running finished a creditable 2nd in the Vidzemes League 3.

Special mention to players from the Youth Team who stepped up this season and played their part in the Reserve team's success. Our stars of tomorrow showed what they could do.

On this day, four years ago, April 22nd 2011, Weil Coerver passed away. Coerver managed several professional clubs, including Feyenoord of Rotterdam, and N.E.C Nijmegen, and was the developer of the Coerver Method. Coerver was nicknamed “the Albert Einstein of Football”

Riga United FC is delighted to announce a new partnership with Italy's leading sportswear brand Macron

The Italian design brand and Riga United have signed a two-year agreement for an undisclosed fee, with Macron producing United's playing strip and replica kit for the 2015 and 2016 seasons.

The Italian sportswear company from Bologna is considered one of the leading sports clothing brands in Europe and sponsors a number of Europe's leading football clubs including Napoli, Lazio, Aston Villa and Real Betis, as well as the Scottish national rugby team.

"It shows just how far Riga United has come that a prestigious brand of Macron's stature should approach us and ask us to represent them on and off the pitch in Latvia. We would like to thank Macron for giving us this opportunity which will further benefit our young club's reputation and profile both in Latvia and overseas".

"We are incredibly excited about Macron's commitment to our club as our kit and sportswear sponsors and we are looking forward to a long and mutually beneficial relationship".

Raivis Ušackis, CEO of Sportour and Macron Sportswear's representative in Latvia said: "In Riga United FC we have found a partner with mutual values, a shared vision and ambition to succeed. We are very happy to partner up with a club whose growth in recent years is a great example to many sports teams in our country. We believe this partnership deal will be mutually beneficial for both parties".

UNITED HOSTING DUTCH TEAM NEC NIJMEGEN

Riga United are proud to be hosting the Dutch football club NEC Nijmegen this week. The Dutch Eredivisie club flies in to Riga today and will spend a week in Latvia.
It is the perfect way for Riga United Football Club to celebrate the one year anniversary of its Youth Academy, which was founded on April 5, 2013.

Nijmegen's Under-14 side will spend the week in Latvia with a friendly match being played tomorrow (Saturday, April 5) against FK Jelgeva, Kick off 15:00 at Riga United's home ground (School 49, Valdemara iela, Riga). Anybody wishing to see the match is invited to come down and watch our Dutch guests play; their team includes a number of Dutch youth internationals.

The visit of NEC Nijmegen was agreed last year when Riga United officials visited Holland to meet the club and spend two days watching its youth teams playing. Riga United hopes its relationship with the Dutch top league club will grow in the coming months and years which will undoubtedly benefit the youth team players at our academy.
