"This was the success of the whole team". Sport24.az reports that the president of the Nakhchivan Football Federation, Zaur Akhundov, said this in his statement to "Nakhchivan TV".
The functionary commented on "Araz-Nakhchivan" eliminating the Greek representative "Aris" in the II qualifying round of the UEFA Conference League: "We thank the coaches, players and the entire team. I rejoice like every Nakhchivan resident. Our team qualified for the European Cups for the first time and won in the debut".
Akhundov recalled that 60-70 percent of the squad has changed: "Very professional players have been invited. Motivation is in place. They know their job well. They have performed in front of an even bigger crowd of fans than this. They showed their professionalism once again in Greece. They played football in front of 25,000 fans".
It should be noted that "Araz-Nakhchivan", which defeated "Aris" 2:1 in Baku, drew with its opponent in the away match - 2:2.
