Baku / 14.09.18 / Turan: For the first time in the football history of Azerbaijan, a foreigner has been appointed chairman of the Judicial Committee of the Association of Football Federations of Azerbaijan: a 55-year-old Austrian Fritz Stuhlik, who replaced Khagani Mamedov, who headed the Judicial Committee for many years. This decision was adopted at a meeting of the AFFA Executive Committee on Friday.
