History
Recently
Azerbaijan's first appearance at big level came during UEFA European Futsal Championship 2010. They were unbeaten in qualifying and finished second to Portugal in their group, and only then after conceding a late equaliser against the 2007 semi-finalists.[3] Alesio has put together a potent blend of naturalised South Americans and local talent like Vitaliy Borisov and the Brazilian coach and much of the Azerbaijan squad are involved with champion club Araz Naxçivan, who in November won through to this spring's four-team UEFA Futsal Cup finals.[4][5] Despite fourth place, Azerbaijan's finals run was the best showing by debutants since the inaugural UEFA European Futsal Championship 1996 tournament.[6] Azerbaijan's Biro Jade won Golden Boot award as join top scorer with five goals.[7][8]
