Baku Sailing Regatta will be held to mark 96th birthday anniversary of the National Leader Heydar Aliyev
Azerbaijan is accepted as one of the most influential states in the world at the international level, thanks to the successful sports policy laid down by the Great Leader Heydar Aliyev and followed by President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Mr. Ilham Aliyev. Our athletes, who receive care and attention of our state, justify these hopes. There is no prestigious race where our country is not represented, and our athletes are not awarded medal and prizes. It also shows the power of an independent Azerbaijani state, patriotism of its athletes. It is a proud that sailors are also among those who become successful in international races and worthily represent Azerbaijan.
On the occasion of the 96th anniversary of National Leader Heydar Aliyev, who has played an important role in the development of sports in Azerbaijan and exerted all his efforts for a healthy growth of future generations, Baku Sailing Regatta – 2019 will be held on May 9-11 in the Baku Bay with the joint organization of the Azerbaijan Sailing Federation (AYIF / SFA) and Azerbaijan Caspian Shipping Company (ASCO ).
