The statement says:
“On April 26 and 30, the attention of the Azerbaijani football community will be focused on the ‘Palms Sports Arena’. Within a 4-day interval, the teams ‘Neftchi’ and ‘Qarabag’ will face each other twice as part of the Misli Premier League matches.

The struggle between the country’s two most titled clubs has always been in the center of attention for the public, mass media, and football lovers. There is no doubt that the upcoming two games will cause the same interest.
During the rivalry between the eternal rivals, which has been going on for about 35 years, fans have witnessed numerous brilliant games, beautiful goals, and uncompromising struggle on the field. This time’s matches also promise us exciting moments, unique emotions, and a real football show.
As always, the teams will fight to the end to win. As ‘Neftchi’ and ‘Qarabag’, we call on our fans to remain calm, to show respect to the opposing team, fans, and participants of the game, and to support their favorite teams until the end within the framework of high culture and fair play principles.
Let us not forget that football, besides being the spiritual food of millions of people, is just a game. In a game where one of the two teams that take the field leaves the field with joy and the other with sadness, what happens on the field should remain on the field. What befits each of us is not to exceed ethical boundaries, to show high professionalism and respect for opponents in the most anticipated match of Azerbaijan.
Both clubs express their confidence that the game will be held in a friendly atmosphere and in a spirit of intense sports competition, and invite fans to the stadium.
