It is known that 3 clubs of the Premier League - "Shamakhi", "Karvan-Yevlax" and "Imishli" will hold their home games at the Shamakhi Olympic Complex. But won't such density lead to loading of the lawn? Or does "Shamakhi", which has a weak financial situation, see this issue as a means of earning money?
Idman.biz reports that the sports director of the "Lions" Kamran Ismayilov clarified this in his statement to Football-plus.az.
The "Shamakhi" official said that it was officially announced that "Imishli" will play two games here, I can't say what will happen after that: "It's true, I'm not sure they will only play two games. Playing these clubs in Shamakhi will create a lot of difficulties for us. Although the grass cover of the Shamakhi stadium is artificial, it is one of the best. I am afraid that with this load, our stadium will also fall into the state of other stadiums. "Karvan" and "Imishli" can pack their things and go to another stadium, we will be left without a stadium. After all, not only three teams will play here.
Unlike "Karvan" and "Imishli", we were not given any concessions. We have a reserve, U-19, U-17, U-16 and U-15 team. They all play their home games here. We also have training. We were having difficulty in terms of schedule. Now it will be even more difficult. Some team will play there during our training before the game, and the training will not work. It is not possible to train in the evening, there is no lighting system. It is not possible to train in the heat in the afternoon. We may not train for a day or two.
Financial interest? Neither "Karvan-Yevlax" nor "Imishli" pays "Shamakhi" a penny for the stadium. The stadium belongs to AFFA. They didn't say a word to us when they moved to this stadium. They agreed with AFFA, signed a contract. AFFA told us that "Karvan" and "Imishli" will play in Shamakhi. No one got our consent to provide financial assistance. Holding the home games of these teams in Shamakhi will bring us nothing but trouble."
