Current season

FK Metta is a professional Latvian football club located in Riga. As of 2012 they play in the Latvian Higher League. Metta play their home games in Rīgas Hanzas vidusskolas stadium, Riga.

History

FS "METTA" was officially founded on May 2, 2006. The club was existing already from the year 2000. In previous years the football club took part only in youth tournaments. In 2007 FS "METTA" and University of Latvia (Latvijas Universitāte) made a senior professional team; FS METTA and participated in the Latvian Championship 1st division (Traffic 1. līga) and finished the season in the 4th position. Next 4 seasons were spent in the same level league. Though being a professional club, Metta kept the prefix FS (Futbola Skola) since the base idea was to build youth players. In 2011 Metta made their greatest achievement, winning the Latvian First League championship and automatically being promoted to the Latvian Higher League – the top tier of Latvian football.[1]

The affiliation with the university provides the club with a greater financial backing and the players with the opportunity, if wanted, to study at the most prestigious Latvian University. The club was created with the aim to gather the greatest youth talents from across the country and surrounding areas to build and shape them into expensive players with the end goal to be sold off to bigger clubs.[2]
