There are two main contenders for the title in the Azerbaijani Beach Soccer Super League.
According to Idman.biz, national team head coach Sahib Mammadov told Report news agency that the main battle will be between Marafon and VTB: "According to the regulations, all teams will play against each other. The team with the most points will be crowned champion. Before COVID-19, we had a national beach soccer championship. It hasn't been held for the past six years, so this is a very positive development. It’s a great opportunity to discover new players for the national team. Six teams will take part. The favorites are Marafon and VTB, because half of the national team plays for one, and the other half for the other. I think the main competition will be between them."
He also emphasized that the champion team will qualify for the main round of the Euro Winners Cup, while the runner-up will enter the Euro Challengers, which serves as a playoff for the same tournament.
The Azerbaijani Beach Soccer Super League kicks off tomorrow and will run until July 15.
