The Latvia women's national football team (Latvian: Latvijas sieviešu futbola izlase) represents Latvia in international football and is controlled by the Latvian Football Federation, the governing body for football in Latvia. They have never qualified for the major tournament.

Latvia, alongside their Baltic rivals, Lithuania and Estonia, is also participating in the local sub-regional Women's Baltic Cup, which takes place every year. Latvia has won this tournament five times, the first time in 1997. The next moment of triumph had to wait until 2011, and in 2017, 2018 and 2019 Latvia won the trophy three years in a row.

History

In the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), women's football was not a recognized sport – in 1972, the Sports Committee of the USSR even banned women's football competitions. That is why women played the first official football matches in Latvia only in 1989, when the first women's team "Latvija" was created. The players were mostly invited from other sports, so the football players had good physical preparation, and several players from Lithuania were also invited to help. In 1990, the team was renamed to RAF Jelgava, participating in the first championship of the highest league of the USSR, where they took eighth place in the competition of 24 teams. RAF played one more season in the top league of the USSR, but another team from Latvia – Ogres "Fortūna" – competed in the first league of the USSR. After the collapse of the USSR, the "RAF" professional team disbanded, and thus women's football in Latvia continued to exist only at the amateur level.{{cite web |last1=Girvičs |first1=Kristians |title=Latvijas sieviešu futbola izlase |url=https://enciklopedija.lv/skirklis/125534 |website=enciklopedija.lv |access-date=13 July 2023}}

On 18 August 1993, The Latvian women's national team made its debut and played its first international match in the European Championship qualification tournament, losing in the first match away to Sweden, which was already one of the most important women's football countries in the world at the time.{{cite web |title=Sweden - Latvia |url=https://www.uefa.com/womenseuropeanqualifiers/match/50322--sweden-vs-latvia/ |website=UEFA |publisher=UEFA |access-date=27 July 2023}}

After the first qualifying tournament, Latvia did not participate anymore in European Championship qualifying tournaments until 2006. Changes had already been introduced in the selection system, by holding the previous preliminary tournament for the weakest European national teams before the qualification, which the Latvian national team never managed to overcome, which meant that Latvia did not have the opportunity to meet the best national women's football teams in Europe for a long time.{{cite web |last1=Girvičs |first1=Kristiāns |title=Latvijas sieviešu futbola izlase (in latvian) |url=https://enciklopedija.lv/skirklis/125534-Latvijas-sievie%C5%A1u-futbola-izlase |website=Enciklopedija.lv |publisher=Nacionālā enciklopēdija |access-date=27 July 2023}}

Latvia's record upon its return to international qualification games was poor. Latvia lost their first two games, against Israel and Bosnia and Herzegovina by three goals, before losing by one goal to Armenia.{{cite web |title=Latvia [Women] » Fixtures & Results 2006 |url=https://www.worldfootball.net/teams/lettland-frauen-team/2006/3/ |website=Worldoffootball.net |date=30 November 2021 |publisher=World of Football |access-date=27 July 2023}} Mini-tournaments after the qualification disaster proved no better for Latvia. Finishing last, in December 2008, Latvia lost 0–3 to Croatia and 0–5 to Turkey.{{cite web |title=Latvia [Women] » Fixtures & Results 2008 |url=https://www.worldfootball.net/teams/lettland-frauen-team/2008/3/ |website=Worldoffootball.net |date=30 November 2021 |publisher=World of Football |access-date=27 July 2023}}

On November 30, 2021, the Latvian national team lost to England in the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup qualification – UEFA Group D match with 20–0. After the game, this game received a huge amount of attention, shining a light on the shortcomings of the qualifiers and European women qualifying system. Several experts emphasized that such a game should not have happened. This game again sparked discussions about going back to pre-qualification.{{cite web |last1=Jayanta |first1=Oinam |title=20-nil thrashing against England a wake-up call for Latvia's women's football |url=https://www.fifa.com/fifaplus/en/articles/20-nil-thrashing-against-england-a-wake-up-call-for-latvias-womens-football |website=FIFA.com |publisher=FIFA |access-date=27 July 2023}}

Stadium

In October 2023, Latvian Football Federation president Vadims Ļašenko said that Skonto Stadium would become the main home of the men's team, with Daugava Stadium serving as a backup and the venue for the women's and youth national teams.{{Cite web |last=Kļavenieks |first=Mārtiņš |date=2023-09-28 |title=«Daugavas» stadions pārtop: vieglatlēti gaida manēžu; drīz mainīs futbola zālienu un skrejceliņu |url=https://www.lsm.lv/raksts/sports/citi/28.09.2023-daugavas-stadions-partop-vieglatleti-gaida-manezu-driz-mainis-futbola-zalienu-un-skrejcelinu.a525627/ |access-date=2024-06-11 |website=LSM.lv |language=lv}} Previously, the women's team has played in various grounds, including Arkādija Stadium and the LNK Sports Park in Riga, Sloka Stadium in Jūrmala, Zemgale Olympic Center in Jelgava and others.
