Kristaps Zommers (born 7 January 1997) is a Latvian professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Riga FC. [2]
As a youth player, Zommers joined the youth academy of Aarhus Gymnastikforening in Denmark. [3]
He started his career with Parma. [4]
In the 2015-16 Serie D, Kristaps made 25 appearances and kept 17 clean sheets. [5]
Local journalists were deterred by the fact that he cannot speak Italian fluently so his interviews were conducted in English. [6]
In an interview with the Italian show Sports Bar, he said, "In football, you know, things may not always go smoothly; it only affects work and will continue to give my best in training. I am convinced, that our quality, in the long run, will come out." [7] On 17 January 2019, he was released from his Parma contract by mutual consent. [8]
In 2020, he signed for Nara. [9]
Zommers returned to Latvia and signed with Valmieras FK on 10 September 2020. [10]
In 2022, he signed for Super Nova. [11]
Zommers made his Latvia U-21 debut versus Estonia in the Baltic Cup and is deemed the highest prospect in Latvian goalkeeping. [13]
