"Yesterday, Azerbaijani football experienced one of its darkest days again. We have been doomed to live through such days for 30 years," said Shahin Ismayilov, the Chairman of the Youth and Sports Committee of the Milli Majlis, during a joint meeting of the Youth and Sports, Public Associations and Religious Organizations, and Culture Committees.
According to Idman.biz, he made these remarks during the 2025 budget discussions.
Ismayilov questioned, "Why do we keep witnessing heavy defeats and poor results? It would be better if AFFA paid attention to this. Every player should bear a great responsibility for the jersey they wear."
Just a day earlier, the Azerbaijan national team suffered a 0-6 defeat against Sweden, resulting in their relegation to League D in the UEFA Nations League.
