Youth and Sport Ministry football department chief Nuver Khasiyev is going to participate in 7th UEFA conference for the development of football, he told APA-Sport.
He said the representatives from all member associations will attend the conference to be held April 2-5 in Helsinki, Finland. Khasiyev is going to make a statement about the popularity of football in Azerbaijan. The guests are expected to visit football schools and stadiums in Helsinki as well. UEFA will pay all visit expenses of Azeri official. Khasiyev said only one representative from Azerbaijan will join the conference because of financial problems.
â€œOne needs $933 to travel Helsinki as back. $350 more is needed daily. UEFA hasnâ€™t put a limit on number of attendees. But the organization will pay expenditures of one representative from each country. The association may send more representatives with its own expenditureâ€, he said.
Ministry official will leave for Helsinki on April 1 in the evening. /APA-Sport/
