Generally they represented the main oil companies of Baku.The Azerbaijan national football team held her first friendly matches against Georgia in 1927 for the Trans-Caucasian Championship in Georgia.[1]During the Soviet Era the team did not play any international matches[edit] Modern HistoryAfter Azerbaijan gained its independence in 1991, AFFA — Association of Football Federations of Azerbaijan — was created. In 1992, renowned Azerbaijani footballer Alekper Mamedov became the first head coach of the Azeribaijani national football team, compiling a 3–1 record as coach that includes the first ever national team victory, over Georgia on May 25, 1993.[2][3] In 1994, the national team was accepted into FIFA and UEFA.Because of security issues, the team played all of its home Euro 96 qualifers in Trabzon, Turkey.[4]In February 2004, Carlos Alberto Torres, captain of the Brazil team that won the 1970 FIFA World Cup was appointed its national coach. Despite a poor start, a 0–6 defeat to Israel on February 18, Azerbaijan won their first ever away match, 3–2 against Kazakhstan on April 28. In June 2005, following a 3–0 defeat by Poland, Torres stood down from the position, to be replaced by former Neftchi coach Vagif Sadykhov, his third spell as coach of Azerbaijan. Shakhin Diniyev took over as manager in November 2005.
