"Zira's" becoming the national champion is a significant event for the Azerbaijan Minifootball Federation (AMF).

"Report" informs that the president of the organization, Orkhan Mammadov, said this in a statement to journalists.

The head of AMF reminded that "Zira" became the national champion for the first time in its history:

"This is a significant event for the federation. Because a new team has won the title. This shows that minifootball is developing. Also, 16 teams competed in the tournament. Interest in the sport is increasing, and new teams are being created. Our goal is to develop minifootball, build new pitches and ensure that more people are involved in minifootball. I congratulate "Zira" on their victory. There was a tense struggle on the field today. The current champion's matches with "Birbasha Baku" are very tense. There is great competition between them. "Zira" is also developing."

O. Mammadov said that the Azerbaijani national minifootball team is preparing for the European Championship:

"The competition will be held in Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia. Our team has developed, there are new members. We are sure that the competition in this championship will affect our national team. We will participate in that tournament as the world champion. We want to return to our country with a medal. There will be training camps before this tournament."
