The Ministry of Youth and Health has presented the country's public with an official mascot.

According to the Apasport.az website, the golden eagle-shaped mascot is called AZZI and symbolizes the Civil Eagle with its unique design, name, shape, and colors.

Additionally, the eagle portrays such qualities as fearlessness and courage that characterize Azerbaijani youths and athletes.

The initiator of the project is the Ministry of Youth and Sport, and Scott Hesington behind the mascot. The original American expert has nearly two decades of experience in creative fields and has worked for teams such as the Detroit Pistons and the Orlando Magic of the U.S. basketball lake. The introduction of the mascot by an external expert will contribute to local young people interested in the field, supporting their development in this area too.

For the first time in April, the mascot greeted addicts in the fan zone of the Azerbaijani Grand Prix. Additionally, athletes can see AZZI at the world championship of taekwondo, which will last for the next two days in our capital. Today, he became a favorite friend of schoolchildren at the opening of an ice field at the Idman-Consert Complex in the name of Heydər Əliyev.
