The Association of Football Federations of Azerbaijan (AFFA) has sent an official letter to UEFA protesting against provocative banners and symbols displayed in the stands during the Armenia - Cyprus match, played on 12 November 2026 on matchday five of UEFA Nations League Group C2.
Fanat.az reports that the letter of protest, signed by AFFA General Secretary Jahangir Farajullayev, states that UEFA’s Disciplinary Regulations strictly prohibit the use of political, ideological, religious and provocative words and expressions in stadiums, and that the coordinated display of separatist symbols constitutes an attempt to use tournaments held under UEFA’s banner as a vehicle for political propaganda.
“In light of the above, AFFA calls for this incident to be investigated, disciplinary action to be taken in connection with it, and measures to be introduced to prevent similar incidents in future,” the letter states.
