"Our opponents are selected by AFFA through negotiations."

Offsideplus.az reports that these words were said by the head coach of the Azerbaijani football team, Fernando Santos, at a press conference held today at the AFFA administrative building.

The Portuguese specialist spoke about the reason why they chose Haiti to hold a friendly match on March 22: "The Haitian national team represents a country on the other side of the ocean. It is a team consisting of very good players. They have quality football players. They play in strong championships. They are not weak opponents at all."

It should be noted that the Azerbaijan - Haiti match will be held in Sumgayit. This will be the first football match between the two countries at the national or club level.
