President Aliyev: Training of young athletes should be done in organized manner 

The development of sports in Azerbaijan is consistent. Many of our athletes who participated in the Baku Games five years ago did not participate in the Islamic Solidarity Games in Konya, President Ilham Aliyev said at the ceremony dedicated to 2022 sporting results, Report informs.

“Generations change, but our success remains constant, and this draws our attention to one important issue. In other words, here, too, we are seeing growth and success. As generations replace each other, the experience of our outstanding athletes seems to be handed over to younger athletes. Young athletes growing up in Azerbaijan will keep our sporting fame high, and this should be a constant process. Of course, the training of young athletes should be done in an organized manner. In this field, we have been observing more focused work recently, especially in terms of selection. Numerous events held in the regions will create greater opportunities for both selection work and the attraction of young people, children, and teenagers to sports clubs,” the head of state said.
