The Director of AFFA's Club Licensing Department, Elchin Mammadov, has received another appointment from UEFA.

The UEFA Europa Conference League is an annual football club competition organized by UEFA for eligible European football clubs.

Clubs qualify for the competition based on their performance in their national leagues and cup competitions. It is the third tier of European club football, after the Champions League and the Europa League.

Introduced for the 2021–22 season, the league serves as the bottom level of the existing UEFA Europa League competition, which was reduced from 48 to 32 teams in the group stage.

The official name of the competition, "UEFA Europa Conference League", was announced on in 2019.

The 2024–25 UEFA Conference League is the fourth season of the UEFA Conference League, Europe's tertiary club football tournament organized by UEFA.

This is the first UEFA Conference League played under a new format involving a 36-team league phase. This increases the total number of matches played in the competition proper from 141 to 153.

The final will be played at the Wroclaw Stadium in Wroclaw, Poland.

The winners of the tournament will automatically qualify for the 2025–26 UEFA Europa League league phase, unless they qualify for the 2025–26 UEFA Champions League through their league performance. In such case, the access list will be rebalanced.
