A British national Harold Trevenen Hall was appointed the first chairman of the Latvian Football Union.

A year earlier, rules of football were published in Latvian for the first time and in May 1923 Latvia was accepted into FIFA.

[5] Former national team captain Kaspars Gorkšs was elected as his successor by the member organizations of the federation.

[6] On 17 October 2019, after a continuing streak of poor international results by the Latvia national team and claims about poor management of the federation from a fraction of its members, an emergency congress with the goal of removing Gorkšs from the post was held, with a 65-vote majority needed for the motion to pass.

Earlier in 2019, there were a number of calls by a group of LFF members to remove Gorkšs from office, yet they all were unsuccessful.
