Azerbaijan midfielder and captain Emin Mahmudov has decided to retire from international football.
Fanat.az reports that the news was announced by AFFA’s press service.
The decision was made following consultations between the 34-year-old and the federation’s leadership. The friendly against Andorra during the November training camp will be Mahmudov’s final appearance for the national team.
The “Neftchi” midfielder, who has represented the national team since 2016, has scored 15 international goals. That tally saw Mahmudov break Gurban Gurbanov’s record to become Azerbaijan’s all-time leading goalscorer.
Azerbaijan will face Liechtenstein in the UEFA Nations League on 13 November and Andorra in a friendly on 16 November during their next training camp.
