Roberts Zelmanis, a former member of the Latvian youth football team, has died in Sweden, the Latvian Football Federation (LFF) reported on Sunday.
LFF reports that “the death of Zelmanis, a former player of the Latvian youth national team, has been confirmed in Sweden”.
He has been wanted since spring. And he was found only in June. Unfortunately, he died.
Two fishermen found the man dead on the Åland reef on June 2, writes olandsbladet.se. It was later confirmed that the deceased is 23-year-old Roberts Zelmanis. He disappeared this spring. He came to Gotand from Latvia last winter. There is no suspicion of a criminal offence.
In 2018, Zelmanis played two games for the Latvian U-18 national team, but in the following two years he accumulated experience of nine matches in the U-19 national team. He has scored four goals and won a place with the team in the elite round of the 2020 European Championship, which was canceled due to the spread of Covid-19.
Later, Zelmanis was also called to the Latvian U-21 national team, but he did not make his debut there.
The defender represented “Liepājas”, Salaspils “Super Nova” and “Jelgavas” teams in Latvia, and also played in Lithuania and Sweden.
