The potential opponents of "Sabah" in the first stage, which will represent our country in the Europa League, are known. Sport24.az reports that the "owls" will face one of the following opponents in this round: Shakhtar (Donetsk, Ukraine), Legia (Poland), Partizan (Serbia), Sheriff (Tiraspol, Moldova), CFR (Cluj, Romania), Hapoel (Beersheba, Israel), Celje (Slovenia), Spartak (Trnava, Slovakia).
Former coach of the Azerbaijan national team, Arif Asadov, shared his thoughts on the draw:
"All potential opponents are clubs that regularly play in European cups. Taking all this into account, "Celje", "Spartak" and Sheriff" can be considered suitable opponents. Vasili Berezutski's departure was unexpected. It is difficult to say why the decision was made. It seems that the club also did not want to let him go. It was written in the press that he left due to family matters. Of course, family is important. In this regard, I respect Berezutski's decision."
It should be noted that the draw for the first qualifying round of the UEFA Europa League will take place tomorrow.
