Marcis Dubra puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Jelgava, and it is not being withdrawn.

The Metta/LU deal is off

Everything was agreed until it was not, and Kristaps Fertovs reports back to Jelgava with a summer to forget. Neither club is saying who walked away from the table.

Vitalijs Laizans in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Jelgava this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Words at Jelgava training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Roberto Siucho is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Pavels Kamess signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Pavels Kamess commits to Jelgava for another 3 years.

A knee injury of the worst kind for Marcis Dubra

17 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Jelgava lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market31 Aug 2026

Kristaps Tarasovs hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Jelgava can pretend not to have heard.

Market31 Aug 2026

Skonto come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Jelgava did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Jelgava

Vitalijs Laizans was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Metta/LU join the queue for Alvis Tarasovs

Add another name to the list: Metta/LU have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Alvis Tarasovs. The answer from Jelgava has not changed — yet.

Nikita Jurkovskis falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.
