context_page_description: The Azerbaijan national football team has represented Azerbaijan in international association football since 1992, after the country declared independence following the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991. Prior to this, Azerbaijani players had represented the Soviet Union national football team. Azerbaijan played their first official international match on 17 September 1992 in a friendly against neighbouring country Georgia which ended in a 6–3 defeat for Azerbaijan. They are governed by the Association of Football Federations of Azerbaijan and compete as a member of the Union of European Football Associations, which encompasses the countries of Europe and Israel, after becoming members in 1994, also joining FIFA the same year. As of March 2019, Azerbaijan have played 242 international matches since their debut, winning 47, drawing 66 and losing 129. Azerbaijan have played Moldova and Uzbekistan most frequently, meeting each side ten times. In global and continental competitions, Azerbaijan have competed in qualification groups for both the FIFA World Cup, since 1994, and the UEFA European Championship, since 1996, but have failed to qualify for any tournament finals.
