Alfrēds Verners (1 January 1912, Riga – 31 December 1973, USA)[1][2] was a Latvian footballer and ice hockey player who played 19 matches for the Latvian national football team in the 1920s and 1930s.

[3] Verners began playing both football and ice hockey with Union Riga, as it was a common practice among sportspeople in Latvia before World War II to compete in different sports in summer and winter.

Verners got a wider popularity as in 1930 Union returned to the Latvian Higher League and unexpectedly earned a respectable fourth-place finish, and won the bronze medals just a year later.

In ice hockey, Union was even stronger, winning the first two Latvian league tournaments, thus by 1933 Verners was a two-time champion of Latvia in ice hockey and a one time bronze medallist in football.

Verners joined Riga Vanderer in 1935 and won the Latvian Cup in 1936 and 1938.
