"We want to start preparing for the next season on July 21. We are having difficulty finding a stadium. The plan may change. Instead of the 21st, let's start a week later, on the 28th." These words were said by the head coach of "Shafa", Elgiz Karimli, in his statement to Sport24.az.
The young expert emphasized that they will fight for the championship in the new season:
"We have completed the transfer work. However, if there is a player we want before the championship starts, we can bring him into the team. Next season, the team will fight for the championship. The club's strategy is that we do not involve foreign players in the team. We know it will be difficult, but as a club, we want to trust local players."
It should be noted that according to the results of the last season, the capital club, which took 2nd place in the II League, will compete in the I League in the 2025/26 "football year".
