Rīgas Hanzas vidusskolas stadions

At Grostonas iela 5 , tucked into the Skanste neighbourhood of Riga , a modest rectangle of artificial turf sits quietly away from the city’s major arenas. The pitch, known as Rīgas Hanzas vidusskolas stadions , is a working ground.

While the larger Skonto Stadium dominates the sporting landscape of the capital with its natural grass and capacity nearing ten thousand, this venue operates on a different scale. Official records from the Latvian Wikipedia and OStadium.com list the seating capacity at 180, though other sources suggest higher numbers.

The ground does not hide its age. There are no official attendance records kept here. An unofficial headcount of about 120 was noted for a Virslīga match between RFS and FK Liepāja in 2021, a game played under open skies without the benefit of artificial lighting.
