Azerbaijani FIFA referee Aliyar Aghayev and FIFA VAR referee Nijat Ismayilli were unable to return to Azerbaijan from Kuwait for a while due to military tensions in the Middle East.
We would like to note that our referees have returned home safely today. The Association of Football Federations of Azerbaijan (AFFA) expresses its gratitude to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Azerbaijan and the Embassy of Azerbaijan in Kuwait for the support provided during the current situation.
