About the player
Abner Salles da Silva grew up in the Rio de Janeiro academy system. He stayed involved regardless, and by June 2026 had built up 30 league appearances for Juventude, scoring twice along the way. Early in 2026 he also featured in the Campeonato Gaúcho, making nine appearances before the move that took him out of Brazil altogether.
In March 2026, Riga FC signed the centre-back on loan from Juventude, with the agreement carrying a buy-out option rather than a straightforward return. Abner has since made four league appearances in Latvia.
At 189cm and right-footed, he fits the profile clubs look for at the back, though his career so far has been built more on accumulated minutes than on individual recognition. The coming months in Latvia will show whether the loan becomes permanent.
