In recent years, the hosting of popular sports competitions of international significance in Azerbaijan and the country's emergence as a center for prestigious global events have been steadily increasing interest and attention toward this field. In response to modern demands, the Department of Translation and Philology at Azerbaijan University has taken a significant step in the area of sports translation. A new textbook titled “Sports Translation”, has been published, co-authored by Ogtay Ismayil, a faculty member of the Department, and Laman Gasymly, an assoc. prof. and PhD in Philology.

The textbook features a variety of texts covering well-known sports and sporting events held in Azerbaijan. With its extensive vocabulary, it provides students with a deeper understanding of sports-related terminology and equips them with essential translation techniques beneficial for sports translation.

Notably, starting this academic year, Azerbaijan University has introduced the course "Sports Translation" within its Translation speciality (English). The course aims to equip students with the skills necessary to professionally handle translation tasks in the field of sports, and this textbook will serve as a key resource in achieving that goal.
