The member of the Azerbaijani national team announced that his biggest dream is to play for the Turkish national team.

Asad Agayev, a final-year student at Tekirdag Namik Kemal University, told Anadolu Agency that he dreams of representing Turkey in the rings:

"I chose this place to continue my education. I have not missed a single championship since I came to Turkey. I won the 2023 inter-university tournament in the 73 kg weight category. My desire is to fight in the ring as a Turkish citizen. For this, we are negotiating with the federation leadership. According to the law, scientists and artists can be accepted into the national team."

Agayev expressed his intention to live in a brotherly country after his education:

"We are one nation, two states. Same flag, same homeland. One of my dreams is to join the Turkish national team and represent my country in Europe, the world and the Olympic Games. I believe that I will wave the Turkish flag at the highest level."

It should be noted that Asad has been playing for the Azerbaijani national team for 7 years and has participated in a number of international competitions with the team.
