Despite Ibrahimov's guilt, the European Football Association's ban on our colleague from football for life and the club's fine of 187,000 manat is quite a severe punishment. 

 Azerbaijani sports journalists have chosen to protest against UEFA in various ways, Offsideplus.az reports. Sifta, one of the country's best-known sports commentators and one of the leading employees of CBC Sport,  Rustam Afsarli,  shared a supportive status with Nurlan Ibrahimov on his social network account.

The officer said that he boycotted the competitions held under the UEFA flag, except for the Azerbaijani national teams, clubs and events related to our country, until the punishment is reduced: The writing and signing will take place only under the above conditions - at UEFA events that protect and promote the interests of our country, our football, as well as the channel I currently work for. For example international matches of Azerbaijani national teams, clubs, teams, international events held in our country, tournaments, football games, etc. related projects.

I emphasize again: until the relevant decision is annulled or mitigated. We are talking about the ban on lifelong football by the head of the press service of the Qarabag Football Club Nurlan Ibrahimov and a fine of 100,000 euros imposed on the club.
It may cost me to stay out of my favorite Champions League, Europa League and other competitions as a journalist and commentator, but let it be. So far, I have lived without commenting on the Champions League final, and nothing will happen after that, I live.
Be strong, friend! "
