The head coach of the Azerbaijan national team, Fernando Santos, commented on the results of the draw for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, where his team will face the Ukraine national team.
Fernando Santos«The die is cast, there is nothing we can change. The most important thing now is to learn as much as possible about our opponents. After the Nations League playoffs, it will be clear whether we will play against France or Croatia. Our other competitors are Ukraine and Iceland. The main thing now is to prepare our team for these matches.
It’s good that in March and June we have no official matches. We will have time to prepare for the group games. During this time we will hold friendly matches so that our team is ready for the qualifying cycle, which will start in September», — cites Santos on the official AFFA website.
