Gurban Gurbanov, head coach of Qarabağ FK, believes Azerbaijan’s football is gaining international recognition following the club’s recent Champions League success.
While Azerbaijan has long excelled in wrestling and judo, he stresses that football success calls for even greater resilience and consistency.
Qarabağ FK’s 3-2 comeback against Benfica in Lisbon reflects Azerbaijan’s growing confidence on the European stage.
According to Gurbanov, maintaining stability and ambition will be key for Qarabağ FK and Azerbaijani football to strengthen their reputation on the global stage.
