Earlier, delegates had voted against the return of athletes and officials from Russia and Belarus to the EG-sponsored competitions.

153 representatives from 45 countries, including Azerbaijan, participated in the congress. The Azerbaijani delegation included Mariana Vasileva, member of the Executive Committee of the national federation, deputy minister of youth and sports, general secretary Nurlana Mammadzada, technical director Natalya Bulanova and other members of AFG.
