Spending on football or looking for social justice? Latvia's women's national football team is preparing to compete in the 2027 UEFA Nations League C tournament, where they will face teams from Azerbaijan, Georgia and Liechtenstein. Despite the desire for sporting achievements, issues of budget allocation and socialization remain relevant. Considering the economic situation of Latvia, it is worrying that significant funds continue to be spent on sports, despite the practical needs of the population. At a time when many citizens face real challenges, such as rising food and service prices, the tax burden and growing social inequality, is it justified to devote significant resources to international sports competitions? Aggravation of these issues calls on the authorities to reconsider the main priorities and to take a more balanced approach to budget expenditures.
