On the eve of the match, the Turkish Football Federation and the administration of the city of Eskisehir decided not to allow people with Azerbaijani flags to attend the match, which angered local Azerbaijanis. On this occasion, posts on Twitter with the hashtag #Bayrag?maDokunmaTFF () are gaining momentum. The Azerbaijani community of the city of Eskisehir issued a statement saying that they were informed that it is prohibited to bring any types of flags, including Azerbaijani ones, other accessories and banners, except the Turkish flag, to the Turkey-Armenia match. It is noted that the local Azerbaijani community will boycott the game and will not go to the stadium.
