Azerbaijan can become the main sponsor of the Spanish Football Federation - media
Baku / 20.12.17 / Turan: The Spanish edition of "AS" stated that Azerbaijan can become the main sponsor of the Football Federation of Spain (RFEF). The publication reports that the contract, calculated for five years, will amount to 50 million euros, and will be the largest sponsorship deal in the history of the Spanish federation. It does not specify which organization from Azerbaijan was going to sign a sponsorship agreement. The deal was to be concluded last Saturday. RFEF representatives were forced to cancel their visit to Baku at the last moment.
The reason for this was the possible removal of the Spanish national team from the World Cup in 2018 in Russia. The fact is that the FIFA did not like the intervention of the Spanish government in the affairs of the national federation. President of the Federation Angel Maria Villar, who leads the organization since 1988, was elected to this post for the eighth time in May 2017. In June, he was arrested for corruption. The Sports Council of Spain proposed holding a new presidential election, which aroused dissatisfaction with the FIFA, which threatened with the suspension of the Spanish national team from the World Cup.
The publication "AS" writes that the condition of Baku for signing the agreement is confirmation by the FIFA of the participation of the Spanish national team in the championship. -71D-

Baku, often called the "Caucasian Dubai," is increasingly known for systematic violations of residents' housing rights. During urban renovations and the construction of elegant new buildings, thousands of families in Azerbaijan’s capital have been unlawfully deprived of their homes. Many, recognizing the futility of resistance, settle for inadequate monetary compensation for their irreplaceable property. A minority, placing faith in the Housing Code, demand fair compensation from construction companies but often lose everything—both their homes and any form of recompense.
