The XXXI round of the Azerbaijan Premier League starts tomorrow.
İdman.biz reports that the three-day tour may clarify the name of the team that will be relegated to the I League.
It is quite possible that Gabala will take last place 5 rounds before the finish. If the 16-point underdog loses to Qarabag, then Kapaz must not lose to Sabah to retain their place in the Premier League. If the Ganja team earns one point, they will become unattainable for Kakhaber Tskhadadze’s team.
A draw may not prevent “Gabala” from taking 10th and last place. If the “red-blacks” score one point in the match with “Qarabag”, then a home victory for “Kapaz” will send Tskhadadze’s team to the first league. Because in this case, “Gabala” loses in individual games to “Araz-Nakhchivan”, which it can catch up with. Regardless of the result of the Ganja club, Gabala must win this round in order not to take 10th place.
Note that although the team that takes last place in the championship must be promoted to Division I, there is a high probability of an increase in the number of participants in the league.

Meet the Star-Studded and Dominant Team USA Basketball Roster for the Paris Olympics
USA Basketball’s New Dream Team
The upcoming Olympics in Paris are drawing near, and USA Basketball Managing Director Grant Hill has just announced the finalized 12-player roster for the Games. With a lineup that boasts a combination of star power, experience, and a renewed emphasis on size and defense, this latest iteration of the “Dream Team” is poised to make a resounding statement on the international stage.
LeBron James, Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, Anthony Davis, Jayson Tatum, Bam Adebayo, Devin Booker, Jrue Holiday, Anthony Edwards, Tyrese Haliburton, Joel Embiid, and Kawhi Leonard make up the formidable roster – a squad brimming with talent, skill, and an unwavering desire to bring home the coveted gold medal.
Hill expressed his excitement over the team, stating, “We have a very exciting, very talented and very experienced roster. We’re just grateful we had so many who were willing to be a part of this. We had a great pool of candidates. It was not easy by any stretch of the imagination. We’re beyond thrilled we’ve assembled this roster of 12. We look forward to the journey and the task at hand, with the goal of bringing gold back from the Olympics.”
The selection process for this dream team involved careful consideration of past gold medalists and emerging talents. James, Durant, and Curry had previously expressed their interest in playing together, setting the stage for their inclusion. Hill took a chance on two newcomers, Embiid – who decided to represent the United States instead of France or his native Cameroon – and Leonard, known for his exceptional performance in the NBA Finals despite grappling with recurring offseason health concerns.
Building on the success of the Tokyo Olympics team, which clinched gold in 2021, and the recent FIBA World Cup team, which secured a fourth-place finish in September, USA Basketball drew heavily from its proven talent pool. The likes of Durant, Tatum, Adebayo, Booker, and Holiday were part of the Tokyo Olympics squad, while Edwards and Haliburton showcased their potential during the World Cup.
Two key aspects Hill focused on were the need for a bigger and more physical team to compete against top international competition and an improved defensive game. The inclusion of Davis and Embiid, who possesses an imposing front line, addresses the former concern. Additionally, Holiday and Leonard bring their expertise in perimeter defense to complement the team’s scoring prowess.
Hill remained cognizant of potential health concerns and revealed a contingency plan for replacing any player unable to participate. He also explained the rationale behind announcing the roster before the NBA playoffs, ensuring the focus remains on team dynamics and cohesion in the run-up to Paris.
Notably, Jimmy Butler, Paul George, James Harden, Damian Lillard, Donovan Mitchell, and Chris Paul were among the notable candidates who missed the cut. Draymond Green, who wasn’t originally included in the player pool, and Kyrie Irving, both of whom have faced suspensions in recent years, were also not selected.
The coaching staff will feature Steve Kerr, head coach of the Golden State Warriors, leading the American contingent in Paris. Kerr previously guided the World Cup team and expressed his intention to step down from the position after the Olympics. Assisting Kerr will be Erik Spoelstra from the Miami Heat, Tyronn Lue from the Los Angeles Clippers, and Mark Few from Gonzaga University.
The United States, alongside seven other teams, has secured a spot in the 12-team Olympic tournament. With Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Serbia, and South Sudan joining them, all eyes will be on these powerhouses as they vie for the prestigious gold medal.
As the world anticipates the clash of international basketball titans in Paris, the USA Basketball Dream Team basks in an impressive lineup, poised to dominate their opponents. With a balance of experience, talent, and a renewed emphasis on defense, this squad represents the pinnacle of American basketball excellence.
