“Perhaps it would be wrong not to consider everyone a foreigner.”
AFFA Vice President Vagif Sadigov stated this to İdman.biz.
He commented on the proposal of Turan Tovuz head coach Aykhan Abbasov, voiced by the latter at a press conference after the match against Kapaz in the XXII round of the Premier League. A. Abbasov proposed that Azerbaijani players living abroad should not be considered foreign players in the local championship.
According to the vice president, this proposal is open for discussion: “Aykhan’s proposal can be implemented. But for this, first of all, it is necessary to create the ground and take the necessary steps.”
Sadigov emphasized that AFFA has already taken certain steps in this direction:
“Today we select the best players with Azerbaijani roots from abroad, nationalize them and create a chance to play in the national team. That is, we have taken the first steps. We selected the best who came to our clubs and allowed them to play locally.”
