## Latvian SSR senior football team

An amateur team representing the Latvian Soviet Socialist Republic entered the football tournament at the 1979 Spartakiad of the Peoples of the USSR while Latvia was annexed by the Soviet Union. The team recorded 1 win (against the Armenian SSR team) and 5 losses, and ended 15th out of the 16 teams, only above the Kirghiz Soviet Socialist Republic team.
Only junior teams were allowed in the 1983 Spartakiad onwards. As such, the Latvian SSR's senior team never played again.
