Today, creating a healthy society is the strategic goal of our state. In this sense, every Azerbaijani showing interest in sports and regularly engaging in sports are issues that are kept in the center of attention. Of course, the provision of mass participation in various sports by the state means the formation of a healthy, strong and patriotic generation.
