Read moreThe director of AFFA's Club Licensing Department, Elchin Mammadov, has received a new appointment from UEFA, Azernews reports.
He will serve as the UEFA Venue Director for the first leg of the UEFA Europa League Round of 16 match between Turkey's Fenerbahçe and Scotland's Rangers.
The match will take place on March 6 at Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium in Istanbul.
Introduced for the 2021–22 season, the league serves as the bottom level of the existing UEFA Europa League competition, which was reduced from 48 to 32 teams in the group stage.
The official name of the competition, "UEFA Europa Conference League", was announced on in 2019.
The 2024–25 UEFA Conference League is the fourth season of the UEFA Conference League, Europe's tertiary club football tournament organized by UEFA.
This is the first UEFA Conference League played under a new format involving a 36-team league phase. This increases the total number of matches played in the competition proper from 141 to 153.
The final will be played at the Wroclaw Stadium in Wroclaw, Poland.
The winners of the tournament will automatically qualify for the 2025–26 UEFA Europa League league phase, unless they qualify for the 2025–26 UEFA Champions League through their league performance. In such case, the access list will be rebalanced.
