"The number of local athletes in clubs is not sufficient."
This statement was made by the President of the Azerbaijan Volleyball Federation, Shahin Baghirov, during the draw ceremony for the Women's and Men's National Cup and High League competitions, reports Idman.biz.
He emphasized that the primary goal is the development of local volleyball players: "We allow clubs to bring in players from abroad, but this is limited. Increasing the number of local athletes is one of our main objectives. We have set the development of youth programs as a key priority. The process is being carried out not only in Baku but also in the regions. The Azerbaijan Volleyball Federation has already taken concrete steps toward engaging young people in volleyball. We can now confidently say that the volleyball movement has started in our regions."
