Verpakovskis made three appearances for the Latvia national team from 1991–1992. His first two appearances were in the unofficial 1991 Baltic Cup.[3] His final appearance was in Latvia's first ever FIFA recognized match, a 2–0 friendly loss to Romania on 8 April 1992.[4]
Verpakovskis was the father of Māris Verpakovskis, who became a renowned Latvian footballer.
