AFFA has granted a one-season grace period to the "Karvan-Yevlax" and "Imishli" clubs, which have been promoted from the First League to the Premier League, regarding coaches.
"Report" reports that the organization's press service has released information on this matter.
At the meeting of the AFFA Executive Committee on March 14, 2025, a decision was made regarding a one-year grace period for clubs promoted to the Premier League to address shortcomings in infrastructure, administration, and other areas due to the increase in the number of teams in the Azerbaijan Premier League in the 2025/2026 season.
Based on this decision, it applies to clubs that have not played in the Premier League in the last 3 seasons and based on the results of the last season:
1. For coaches working within the clubs, the coaching qualification levels stipulated in the Licensing Regulations are considered acceptable one category lower (provided that it is not lower than UEFA C category).
2. U-16, U-17, U-19 and reserve teams may not participate in leagues.
