A charity campaign supporting children with mobility impairments took place at Skonto Stadium in Riga ahead of the UEFA Nations League Matchday 6 encounter between Latvia and Armenia.
As part of the initiative, 22 children with mobility impairments accompanied players from both national teams onto the pitch before kick-off.
One particularly touching moment involved Armenia midfielder Karlen Hovhannisyan, who carried the child accompanying him onto the field in his arms.
The campaign was organized by the Latvian Football Federation (LFF) in cooperation with the Poga rehabilitation center and the Ziedot charity organization.
Special donation boxes were placed at the entrances to Skonto Stadium to collect funds for children with mobility impairments and their families.
Fans who made donations also had the opportunity to participate in a prize draw scheduled for half-time.
The initiative turned the football match into more than just a sporting event, helping raise awareness of the challenges faced by children who require rehabilitation and additional support.
The Latvia vs Armenia match is taking place on November 15 in Riga as part of the final round of the group stage of the 2026/27 UEFA Nations League. The first half ended in a goalless draw (0-0).
