"A friendly match has one purpose: to prepare for the upcoming qualifying matches. Our national team will also start a new cycle in September."
These words were said by Agasalim Mirjavadov, a member of the AFFA Coaching Committee.
The experienced specialist assessed the chances of the Azerbaijan national team in the "FIFA Series - 2026" international tournament.
"In such matches, the main goal is to further improve the squad and enhance the style of play. Our national team played its last match in November. The spirit of victory must remain in the team so that the players are ready for official matches. Since these are friendly matches, I think Aykhan Abbasov will give a chance to all the players. I respect the head coach's choice of players. He is inside, he knows the players. In the current situation, many players of the national team play little in their teams. There is desire and faith," he said in his statement to sport24.az.
It should be noted that the Azerbaijan national team will face Saint Lucia today, and Sierra Leone on the 30th. Both games will be held at the Mehdi Huseynzade Sumgayit City Stadium and will start at 19:00.
