The positive emotions and smiles on girls' faces also help us fight for the prestige of women's football. Clubs dedicated to the development of women's football deserve praise for their activity, we all have enormous potential. LFF and clubs have a great ambition to elevate our women's football to new heights. Last year, in partnership with FIFA, we launched the program Live your goals, based on ongoing collaboration. We also invite everyone to be active this year and show their organization to the general public. Current developments show that stereotypes about women's football are no longer relevant because women's football is a unique value and way of life for many people involved. "

Nina Travkina, specialist in women's football development:" Women's football has great strength. Although SFL can not boast of a large number of teams at the moment, we are still in favor of quality rather than quantity. We are confident that with the improvement in quality, the number of teams will increase. This, in turn, will help SFL to develop as a strong and solid championship based Latvian national team. With the discipline of the training, the place and the championship itself, the strength of our team will grow. I invite all football clubs and players to dream of a great success and to participate in the women's tournament of the UEFA Champions League. This fantastic opportunity to represent your country opens the winners of the SFL, so I want everyone to strive there. I am confident that the new season of SFL will be more interesting and more unpredictable. We invite everyone to respect each other, because everyone has to think not only about their club, but also about the development of women's football in Latvia as a whole. Thanks also to FIFA for the equipment provided, which will facilitate the daily work of the clubs. "

Didzis Matīss, head coach of the Latvian national women's football team:" I am very pleased with the LFF's cooperation with FIFA. It may seem that the gain is not huge, however, this equipment will allow coaches to not think about adjacent things and help focus on raising players' skills. Our clubs have to make competitive matches for Latvia's favorites, and in this respect, it's a pleasure to see that more and more players from different clubs are favorites in recent years. To achieve the ambitions of all teams and all players!
