Uruguayan football club rejects sponsorship of Azerbaijan

One of the conditions that the Azeri officials imposed on San Lorenzo was that “there couldn't be ethnic Armenians” in future executive committees of the club in exchange for a lucrative contract with the club. The issue gained importance in Peñarol since some of the candidates are members of the Armenian community.
The current president of Peñarol seeking for a re-election Juan Pedro Damianisaid that in the event of a similar proposal “we will act the same way as San Lorenzo” and stated that “it strikes me that Atletico Madrid could accept this sponsor.” good for them. I think Atletico Madrid had an Armenian youth player in their cantera, b/c Azerbaijan didn't sponsor the cantera, but he's left now
