Skonto prohibited from playing in Latvian Football League

BC, Riga, 12.02.2016.Print version

Probably Latvia's most well-known football club, Riga Skonto, has been prohibited from playing in this season's Latvian Football League (Virsliga), informs LETA.

 

The club has not been issued a license to play in the Virsliga due its failure to meet various commitments, including not having a suitable stadium and training grounds, as well as the amount of debt it currently owes to players and employees.

 

Skonto has been going through financial problems the past several years.

 

The club has won 14 national titles since 1992, but has placed second in the Virsliga the past two seasons.
