Immediately after the opponents of the Azerbaijani national football team in the League of Nations (Group 2, League D) were determined, local fans and experts began to evaluate the team's chances.
Idman.Biz asked Asgar Abdullayev, who coached our national football team in 2003-2004, to comment on his expectations for the upcoming tournament.
"We have a group with Lithuania and Liechtenstein, which is not easy at all. It cannot be said that we are head and shoulders above these rivals. However, in general, I believe in our team, especially Aykhan Abbasov. I am sure that under the leadership of such a specialist, the national team is fully capable of taking first place in the group and qualifying for League C," said Asgar Abdullayev.
It should be noted that the draw for the 2026/2027 season of the UEFA Nations League was held yesterday.
According to the results of the draw held in Brussels, the capital of Belgium, the opponents of the Azerbaijani national team, which will compete in League D, have been determined. During the draw, our national team, which was in the first pot, will face the national teams of Lithuania and Liechtenstein in the 2nd group.
