The Azerbaijan national futsal team is the national futsal team of Azerbaijan and is controlled by the Association of Football Federations of Azerbaijan. It represents Azerbaijan in international futsal competitions such as the FIFA Futsal World Cup and the European Championships. They are ranked 10th in the world, the highest-ranking team from Caucasus in the World Rankings.[2]
Azerbaijan had never qualified for the FIFA Futsal World Cup until 2016, but they have participated in the last four editions of the European Championship.
History
Recently
Azerbaijan's first appearance at big level came during the 2010 UEFA Futsal Championship. They were unbeaten in qualifying and finished second to Portugal in their group, and only then after conceding a late equalizer against the 2007 semi-finalists.[3] Alesio has put together a potent blend of naturalized South Americans and local talent like Vitaliy Borisov and the Brazilian coach and much of the Azerbaijan squad are involved with champion club Araz Naxçivan, who in November won through to this spring's four-team UEFA Futsal Cup finals.[4][5] Despite fourth place, Azerbaijan's finals run was the best showing by debutants since the inaugural UEFA European Futsal Championship 1996 tournament.[6] Azerbaijan's Biro Jade won Golden Boot award as join top scorer with five goals.[7][8]
