"The men's national team went through a number of difficult trials last year."
Idman.Biz reports that this was said by AFFA President Rovshan Najaf at the Reporting Conference of the National Association.
"The men's national team went through a number of difficult trials last year. Positive dynamics have been observed in the team under the leadership of Aykhan Abbasov, and I thank him for this. The increase in discipline in the team's game has also been noticeable recently.
The results achieved in the "FIFA Series-2026" tournament are an indicator of this development. I congratulate the national team once again and emphasize my confidence in the team. At the same time, the success of "Qarabağ" club in the European arena should be especially noted. I thank the club management for the emotions they have given to the fans," said R. Najaf.
The AFFA president also expressed his opinion about the U-20 World Championship, which will be held in Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan in 2027:
"This competition will be held on two continents. We can consider it as a bridge between Europe and Asia. I believe that we will work together to achieve our goals and our efforts will yield positive results."
