The European Cup season for Azerbaijani clubs will start today. "Zira" from our teams will be one of the first to join the fight. The team led by Rashad Sadigov will face Moldova's "Sherif" club on the trip. The match will start at 21:00.

Although "Sherif" has a lot of experience in the international arena, the team could not maintain its previous strength. Looking at the performance of the Tiraspol representative in the European Cup, it should be noted that they played 1 time in the Champions League and 5 times in the group stage of the Europa League. The team managed to make a name for itself by defeating "Real" away in the 2021 Champions League group. In addition, they won gold medals in the Commonwealth Cup in 2003 and 2009.

Looking at the European Cup chronology of "Eagles", we can say that the team made its debut in the international arena in the 2017/18 season. They defeated "Differdange" (Luxembourg) in the first qualifying round of the European League (2:0, 2:1). However, they did not succeed in the next round against the Romanian "Astra" team. The opponent won the first match (1:3), and the second match ended in a goalless draw.

In the 2022/23 season, the debut of the team in the Conference League was not successful. The representative of the town faced the Israeli club "Maccabi" and stopped the fight due to the result of two games (0:3).

It should be noted that the loser of the pair will continue their fight in the second qualifying round of the Conference League.
