Musa Gurbanov: The financial situation of "Zaqatala" is unclear, expenses are increasing, but the budget remains the same

"Our team will start the new season with the funds allocated by the AFFA from the state."

Idman.biz reports that these words were said by Musa Gurbanov, a member of the Supervisory Board of "Zaqatala", in his statement to Sportinfo.az.

He said that the negotiations regarding significant private sponsorship for the regional club, which has been competing in the First League since 2014, have been unsuccessful.

The well-known football figure noted that Vugar Gurbanov, the executive director of TABIB, is trying to support the club of his native region, but the process has come to a dead end: "I don't know why it happened like this. Vugar muellim wanted "Zaqatala" to get out of this situation and be ambitious. He did everything he could. We were supposed to meet with the companies he mentioned. There was verbal conversation about this. For some reason, no news came from those companies later. We saw that there was no point in talking anymore. If football was an interesting area for them, they would have taken some steps themselves. Frankly, we were very hopeful until the last days. We had big plans. We wanted to change the field of the Zaqatala Olympic Complex stadium. The usage period of that lawn has long expired. In general, there is a lot of work to be done there. The changing rooms also need to be repaired. Now we have to build a team with the previous budget. This is an extremely difficult matter. How much prices rise every year, but the budget allocated to clubs does not change. Expenses increase year by year, it is unclear to us how it will be. The whole burden has fallen on the chairman of the Supervisory Board, Shaban Shirdanov. Shaban muellim is really suffering, he is going here and there so that someone can help the team."
