The Confederation of Independent Football Associations (CONIFA)
has rejected Azerbaijan’s demand not to allow the Nagorno Karabakh
Republic (NKR) to participate in the first world soccer championship
among unrecognized states due in Sweden on June 1-8.
People living in every corner of the world have the right to represent
themselves in the international arena, CONIFA said, when rejecting
Azerbaijan’s demand.
The Association of Football Federations of Azerbaijan earlier expressed
its protest over the expected participation of Karabakh soccer players
in the championship by sending a letter of protest to the CONIFA.
