The ARAF official made a statement to "Report" about this.
He reminded that the European Championship in this sport was held for the first time:
"It was truly a great feeling of pride that the Azerbaijani team became the champion. The European championship of our Chovgan national team is not only a sporting success, but also a triumph of our national identity, history and cultural heritage. This historic victory fills us with endless pride. Chovgan is a game that has lived in the spirit and cultural memory of our people for centuries. Today, its brilliance in the international arena, its recognition at the level of the European Championship, is of great importance in terms of restoring and introducing Azerbaijan's ancient equestrian traditions to the world."
