"First, we participated in the U-20 championship."
Idman.biz reports that this was said by Ibrahim Mammadov, a beach volleyball player of the Azerbaijani national team.
He evaluated his games in the Eastern European Volleyball Zonal Association (EEVZA) championship. The national team member first spoke about the matches among U-20s: "In this competition, we faced the Armenian national team and won by a large margin. In the next stage, our opponent was the experienced Lithuanian team. The game ended with the opponent's victory. Two days later, we participated in the U-18 championship in Latvia. Here, we finished the group stage in second place. We defeated the Lithuanian national team in the play-offs. In the 1/4 finals, we lost to the host Latvian team. Both competitions qualified for the European Championship. We would very much like to be in the top three and represent our country in the continental championship. We will try to play better in the next competitions and qualify for the European Championship."
It should be noted that the pair Muhammad Aslanli - Ibrahim Mammadov took 5th place among U-18s.
