Marko Regža (born 20 January 1999) is a Latvian footballer who plays for Virslīga club Riga and the Latvia national team.
Regža began his youth career with SK Babīte.[1] [2] At age 11, he and his family moved to Germany to join the academy of Fortuna Düsseldorf. He later moved to Schalke 04. He stayed with the club until age 15 when he was forced to return to Latvia because of injury.[3]
He went on to join RFS of the Virslīga but was again troubled by injury. He eventually signed a contract with Riga FC through 31 December 2025. Regža had a breakout season in 2023 and reached second in the league scoring chart with eleven goals in nineteen matches at one point.[3] Because of his play that season, he was linked with a move to Sint-Truidense V.V. of the Belgian Pro League.[4]
