Samir Alakbarov: "After 36 years, seeing the place  I lived and the stadium I played in Khankendi..."

"It is a good event. "I saw the place where I live after 36 years and the stadium where I played, which affected me the most."

Samir Alakbarov, a former football player of Khankendi's Qarabag club, told Idman.biz.

The veteran striker evaluated the historic match between Qarabag and MOIK teams in the 1/8 final stage of the Azerbaijan Cup in Khankendi. He said that it is a great happiness to be back in his hometown: "It was an interesting game. There was a nice atmosphere. This was realized thanks to the heroism of our martyrs. I thank our veterans, our people, our nation and our state for everything."

55-year-old Alakbarov remembered the last time he was at the Khankendi stadium in 1987: "I still remember those years. My wish is that a football academy be established here and veteran footballers come and work. I put forward this proposal during the meeting with AFFA General Secretary Sarkhan Hajiyev. Welcoming them positively, they emphasized that they have such a plan. Of course, all this needs some time."

It should be noted that Qarabag defeated MOIK with a score of 1:0 and advanced to the 1/4 finals.
