Azam FC in trouble as seven players could miss return of Mainland league

Azam FC have confessed they will resume the Mainland Premier League without seven of their foreign players and coaches.

Despite the country opening their international airport, which had been closed during the lockdown period, Azam have admitted they are having difficulties reaching their players and coaches, who left the country immediately after the league was stopped.
