Montenegro which is the member of FIFA and UEFA will not attend the official matches in the nearest one year. AFFA taking this emptiness into consideration will send their proposal to Montenegrin football organization.
Asgarov said that they have not yet received reply to the invitation they sent to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for carrying out friendly match on September 12. Jordanian team is the third team which has refused to meet against Azerbaijan on August 22.
