"Our national team hasn't been able to win for a long time. I think this unsuccessful streak will end in the upcoming matches."
These words were said by the former football player of the Azerbaijani national team, Afran Ismayilov.
The veteran football player assessed the team's chances in the "FIFA Series - 2026".
"Our previous opponents were very strong. Therefore, it was too early to expect a victory. The players invited to the squad play for their teams in the championship and are all worthy of wearing the national team's uniform. Such matches are beneficial for the players. In general, the national team is a very sensitive place for us. Therefore, it is necessary to make the right decision. The local coach knows the mentality better, knows the players. That is, he is fully aware of them. A football player who receives an invitation to the national team must understand the responsibility," he said in an interview with sport24.az.
It should be noted that the Azerbaijani national team will face Saint Lucia on March 27 and Sierra Leone on March 30. Both games will be held at the Mehdi Huseynzade Sumgayit City Stadium and will start at 19:00.
