A club in Azerbaijan was removed from the league

AFFA has removed the “Istiqlal” club from the Regional League.

Elchi.az reports that the decision was made by the AFFA Disciplinary Committee.

The “Istiqlal” – “Sabirabad” match, which was supposed to be held on December 28 last year, did not take place due to the home team’s absence at the stadium at the appointed time.

As a result, the “Istiqlal” club was given a technical defeat with a score of 0:3.

It was decided to remove the team from the tournament because the same situation was repeated for the third time in a row.
