The Latvia national football team represents Latvia in men's international football and is governed by the Latvian Football Federation, the sport's official governing body in the country.
The team played its first official international match in 1922, a 1–1 draw against Estonia, and joined FIFA later that same year. In 1924, Latvia made its Olympic debut by participating in the Summer Games in Paris, and was an active participant in early international football. The team came close to qualifying for the 1938 FIFA World Cup, but political events soon altered its course.
Following the Soviet occupation and annexation of Latvia during World War II, the national team disappeared from the international stage for over 50 years. Football development in Latvia was largely constrained under the Soviet system, where local players could only compete as part of the Latvian SSR| in inter-republic tournaments or under the flag of the USSR, limiting the country's independent footballing identity and progress.
