For several years, AFFA has been implementing the "Elite Training" project in order to promote football in our country and create the necessary conditions for identifying talented children. Although the program remained without a leader for a long time, the organization has finally appointed a leader.
According to Idman.Biz, a well-known ex-footballer and former member of the Azerbaijani national team, Mirbaghir Isayev, has been appointed head of the "Elite Training" program for children born in 2013-2016. Isayev's last position was at the Sabail football club academy. He headed the academy until the end of last season.
It should be noted that the project manager Rufat Gadirli neither confirmed nor denied this information, and it was not possible to contact Mirbaghir Isayev himself by phone.
