Tickets for the Estonia-Azerbaijan match are now on sale
Within the UEFA Nations League, the teams are in Group C1, which is not the strongest but is very interesting for football fans. According to the draw, the quartet of the group also includes teams from Sweden and Slovakia. Each national team will play two games with the other participants in the group: one at home and one away.
The match on November 16 will be a home game for the Azerbaijanis, so they will be helped by stands full of fans. For teams, participation in the Nations League is a path to high-profile awards, as well as an increase in their rating and status, and the opportunity to qualify for the European Championship or the World Cup.
The Azerbaijani national team is more than a hundred years old. Such a long history has brought the team both defeats and glorious victories, which the players can rightfully be proud of. Today, the greatest success of Fernando Santos's team is considered to be the third place of the legendary club "Neftchi" in 1966, which he won in the Azerbaijani championship. In the FIFA ranking, the national team is in 112th place. Fernando Santos's charges have not yet participated in the Euro and the World Cup, but the team still has a lot ahead of them, because they have countless ambitions. In the Azerbaijan national team, we will see such stars as Renat Dadashev, Emin Makhmudov, Ramil Sheydayev, Mahir Emerli, Musa Gurbanli. The cost of these productive players on the transfer market is estimated at a million euros or more, but the Association of Football Federations of Azerbaijan, which oversees the national team, did not skimp on acquiring the best of the best in the name of future big victories. Last year, the national team finished its performance in the EURO 2024 qualifying tournament, ending up last in the quartet, and after that, it took into account its mistakes and actively trained. Estonia is a small country, but a very proud one. Despite their inconspicuous role on the world stage, Estonians have always strived to reach heights in football. And although the Estonians occupy 123rd place in the FIFA rankings and only 48th according to UEFA, you should definitely not underestimate the team - the team knows how to surprise. On September 5, Jurgen Henn's team lost the game with Slovakia with a minimal advantage of 1:0, so now they are eager to prove themselves in November against Azerbaijan. The Estonian national team became the first in UEFA to play official matches with all other members of the prestigious football association. In 2012, a historically significant game took place with the team from France, the last of the remaining fifty-two UEFA members with whom the ambitious Estonians had to compete. Just like the Azerbaijanis, the Estonian team does not participate in the world and European championships, but regularly and quite successfully performs in the Baltic Cup.
The current winner of the UEFA Nations League is the Spanish team. In the final of the last draw, the Spaniards beat the Croatians, thereby snatching the championship.
Yes, Group C1 in the Nations League did not gather the strongest quartet of football teams, but both teams that will play on November 16 at the Tofik Bahramov Republican Stadium will definitely surprise with a bright and exciting game. Tickets for the match Azerbaijan-Estonia are not only an opportunity to support your favorite team, but also to be the first to see who will win in this exciting League confrontation. Do not miss the opportunity to visit a world-class sports festival that will bring together fans from all over the world.
