Azerbaijan football squad may play August-22 friendly match against Macedonia, AFFA National Teams Department chief Behruz Asgerov told APA-Sport.
He said the federation has sent a letter to the Football Federation of Macedonia.
â€œWe have begun talks with Football Federation of Macedonia. We sent a letter them and made a proposal to play a friendly matchâ€, he said.
Asgerov said if the answer is negative, AFFA will lead talks with Montenegro or Jordan.
â€œMacedonia is a stronger team than Montenegro and Jordan. Thatâ€™s why we appealed them first. But if we fail to reach agreement, our federation intends to appeal to Montenegro and Jordanâ€, he said.
The negotiations with Football Federation of Lithuania had no reason. August-22 match will a warm-up before Euro qualifying matches against Armenia. /APA-Sport/
