According to Offsideplus.az, this was due to the fact that the decision to ban fans due to the coronavirus pandemic in the country remains in force.
Speaking at the last meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers at the Presidential Complex, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that sports competitions will continue to be held without fans. 
The Qarabag-Sivasspor match, which will be held on November 26 at the Basaksehir Fatih Terim Stadium in Istanbul, will start at 21:55 Baku time. Due to the military situation in the country, the Azerbaijani representative is playing home games on a neutral field.
