Trivia


Azerbaijan is a country in the Caucasus region of Western Asia and Eastern Europe, bordering Armenia, Georgia, Russia and Iran.

The exclave of Azerbaijan, Nakchivan, borders Turkey to the west.

Music

Azerbaijan won the 2011 Eurovision Song Contest with representatives Eldar Gasimov and Nigar Jamal (known as Ell and Nikki) with their song "Running Scared". After that, Azerbaijan won the right to host the 2012 Eurovision Song Contest.

The country made their debut in Eurovision in 2008, although they tried to apply to debut in the 2007 contest. Azerbaijan had always qualified for the Eurovision Song Contest grand final from the semifinals prior to 2018, when Aisel and her entry "X My Heart" failed to qualify Azerbaijan for the first time since their debut in the 2008 contest. Prior to 2018, along with Australia, Romania, Russia, and Ukraine, they were the only countries that had a 100% qualifying record from the semifinals.

Sports

Football isn't a popular sport, as the Azerbaijan national football team doesn't share success as their participation in the Eurovision Song Contest.

The Azeri national team often struggles in qualifying tournaments for both the World Cup and the UEFA Euro Championship. The Azeri national team often finish at least last or second last in the final qualifying table. The Azeri women's national team is arguably one of the worst women's teams in UEFA.
