Europe will continue to be the showcase for Gustavo Dulanto for the third consecutive time. The Peruvian defender will defend the jersey of Riga FC in the First Division of Latvia, a little-known market in the world of football. That's why we'll tell you a little more about 'Pochito's' new team.
You should know that Riga FC plays at Skonto Stadium, a stadium with a capacity of 9,500 spectators. The team is named after the capital of Latvia, where it has its headquarters.

It was founded in 2014 and in 8 years it has achieved five achievements: promotion in 2015, and the three-time championship in the Virsliga (Latvia's premier league) with the titles of 2018, 2019, and 2020. Likewise, in 2018 it became the champion of the Latvian Cup 2018.
Dulanto joins the albiceleste team to compete in the second round of the UEFA Conference League, but before that, he could have the chance to debut with his team. This could happen on Sunday, July 17th when Riga FC, third in the table with 41 points, faces Super Nova, last in the standings.

An important fact is that Riga FC was previously called Caramba Riga, in the promotion tournament, and when it was promoted to the top division, it adopted the name it now carries after merging with Dinamo Riga.
As mentioned, this is Gustavo Dulanto's third team in Europe, having previously defended the colors of Boavista (Portugal) and Sheriff Tiraspol (Moldova).
