A sports facility in the region has been taken hostage by the Central Bank due to the debts of Hafiz Mammadov, a close friend of former Transport Minister Ziya Mammadov and known as the president of the Baku Football Club, to banks, Offsideplus.az reports. That's why. Demolition work has already begun.

When we focused on the issue, we first appealed to the Ministry of Youth and Sports of the Republic of Azerbaijan, as we consider the demolition of a sports facility every day as a blow to the sports development policy of the state leadership. Knowing that the Olympic complex is not on the balance of the ministry, we called the press secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Samaya Mammadova with the desire to hear some good news. Our colleague's attitude to the issue was as follows:" I have read the news. I can say that the Guba Olympic Complex is not on the balance of the Ministry of Youth and Sports. It has never been. In general. None of the Olympic complexes commissioned before 2007 is on the balance of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Then what is being built is on our balance. Even some of the complexes built before 2007 have been transferred to the balance of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. But we do not have the Guba Olympic Complex. "

It should be noted that the opening of the Guba Olympic Complex took place on October 11, 2003, when the then Prime Minister. The current President Ilham Aliyev was also present.
